Les looks les plus emblématiques du Met Gala
En l'honneur du Met Gala 2020 qui aura lieu lundi, nous revenons sur certains des invités les plus prestigieux du gala et leurs moments les plus mémorables sur le tapis rouge.
Nina Yashar's Picks for Salone del Mobile
TRAVEL An insider guide from the Nilufar founder Nina Yashar has spent decades shaping Milan’s design scene, first through Nilufar, her collectible gallery in Quadrilatero d’Oro, then the Farini district’s Nilufar Depot, an industrial exhibition space inspired by the city’s Teatro alla Scala opera house. Ahead of Salone del Mobile, Milan’s Queen of Design reveals her favorite places. Inside Trattoria Masuelli.
A haute invite: inside the exclusive grand Dîner du Louvre
Nearly 300 guests made their way through the storied institution’s corridors after dark. The occasion? The second edition of the Grand Dîner du Louvre; a Paris Fashion Week-adjacent fundraiser that has, in just one year, firmly established itself as one of the most covetable invitations on the calendar.
A Haute Invite: Inside the Exclusive Grand Dîner du Louvre
Anya Taylor-Joy, Alex ConsaniPhoto by: German Larkin For a museum that has everything, the Louvre still manages to surprise. There are some evenings in Paris that remind people why they moved there, or booked a flight, in the first place—and the first Tuesday night in March is fast becoming one of them. Nearly 300 guests—philanthropists, fashion execs, royals, and stars—made their way through the storied institution’s corridors after dark, led deeper and deeper into the breathtaking galleries.
Checking In and Dining Out in Vancouver: The Complete MICHELIN Experience
Vancouver is one of the few cities where MICHELIN-recommended hotels and MICHELIN-recognized restaurants are mere steps apart, creating a seamless experience in which your stay and your meals feel intentionally intertwined. These hotels aren’t simply places to sleep; they are hubs of design and culture — one hotel is even home to three MICHELIN-recommended restaurants.
Best Hotels and Restaurants for Art Basel, Frieze & Major Art Fairs Worldwide
From Seoul to Abu Dhabi, the world’s most influential art fairs have become cultural waypoints — brief but heightened moments when cities reveal themselves at their most expressive. Art and gastronomy share a common language: composition, contrast and a touch of audacity, and during fair week that dialogue extends well beyond the exhibition halls. It unfolds in hotel bars, restaurant kitchens and late-night tables where collectors, chefs and curators cross paths.

Montréal: A Place Where Creativity Reigns
Montréal has always had a flair for the experimental. The city’s reputation for originality precedes it, whether you’re tracing the jagged lines of its Brutalist buildings, lingering at a Leonard Cohen mural or wandering the stalls of Jean-Talon Market. It’s in the food, too — perhaps most of all. Montréal chefs aren’t merely cooking; they’re staging nightly culinary experiments with touches of tradition and terroir. “It’s a chef’s city,” says Jason Morris, the executive chef of Marcus.
Best Paris Hotels for Christmas and New Year’s Eve - Turning Up the Holiday Magic
Christmas in Paris is far from understated. As the city slips into its twinkling lights like a sequined coat and the spiced scent of vin chaud (mulled wine) drifts through the boulevards, Paris’ luxury hotels in The MICHELIN Guide are going all in — not with a polite sprig of holly, but with full-scale holiday theater.
Star Power: How MICHELIN Recognition is Changing Food Scenes Across the U.S.
MICHELIN Stars have long shone brightest on the country’s most obvious culinary capitals: New York, San Francisco and Chicago. But recently, the glow has begun to spread, refracting through cities whose dining reputations, until not so long ago, leaned more toward theme park treats, après-ski beers or barbecue platters.
Two Days in Québec City
Québec City is a bit like Paris only without the transatlantic flight — or at least the closest you’ll come this side of the St. Lawrence. The cobblestone streets, the 17th-century stone facades, the language (bien sûr): it’s a city that leans hard into its European twinship while maintaining a quieter, quainter rhythm.
Toronto Film Festival Dining: Where Michelin Dining Meets Red Carpet Glamour
September in Toronto is red carpets and restless agents, standing ovations and standing dinners. The city, already a magnet for cosmopolitan bustle, finds itself playing host not just to premieres but to the precise choreography of who’s eating where.
Hotels for Wine Lovers in the United States and Canada
Not everyone dreams in rosé, but those who do might consider checking in—and checking the cellar—at a hotel where the real turndown service is a 1982 Pauillac. Imagine stays where sommeliers double as concierges, where the words “wine list” mean a 300-page tome, and where your morning might start with a vineyard walk and end with a Richebourg in your robe. From California’s cult cabernet country to Québec’s lakeside cellars, here’s where to swirl, sip and sleep.
Inside Saudi Arabia’s House of Islamic Arts: A New Museum That Reframes Centuries of Islamic Civilisation Through Objects
Saudi Arabia’s newly opened House of Islamic Arts in Jeddah, the Kingdom’s first museum dedicated exclusively to Islamic art, offers more than a display of artefacts; it presents a carefully orchestrated narrative of centuries of craftsmanship and cultural exchange. The museum, home to over 1,000 objects, is organised into six galleries tracing the evolution of Islamic aesthetics across ceramics, glass, metalworks, and coinage.
The Art of the Perfect ‘Couture’ Brow: Insights From Chanel's Only Brow Expert
Once tweezed into oblivion or filled in with a heavy hand, eyebrows have become emblems of identity — subtle enough to frame, strong enough to transform. For Chanel brow artist Jimena Garcia, the house’s only brow expert, the highest form of this transformation is what she calls the “couture brow.” Read More The brow queens break it down “A couture brow sets itself apart from trend-driven shaping because it is entirely bespoke,” she says.
11 of the Best Beach Clubs for a Night Swim in Dubai
Summer in Dubai is an endurance sport. The sun is merciless, the heat unrelenting — and air-conditioning, no matter how powerful, can only do so much. Which is why the city’s new after-dark indulgence isn’t dinner, nor dancing, but something more elemental: night swimming. Under floodlit rooftops and beside the softly lit shoreline, slipping into cool water after sunset feels decadent, clandestine even.
How Vintage and Resale Fashion Are Preserving Heritage in the Middle East
In the global vocabulary of fashion, “vintage” has long been shorthand for nostalgia: a Chanel jacket with padded shoulders from the eighties, a YSL gown rescued from some Bergdorf sale rack, a Vuitton trunk battered enough to suggest aristocratic travels. But in the Middle East, vintage has begun to mean something else entirely.
World Photography Day: Arab Visionaries Behind the Lens
Photography has the power to shape how we understand beauty, style, and identity. It is more than the act of documenting – it is a medium that reframes stories, evokes emotion, and sets the tone for the way we see the world. Today’s photographers are not just image-makers; they are cultural storytellers whose work stretches across fashion, art, and documentary, bridging personal narratives with universal resonance.
How Samer Khouzami Built a Beauty Empire Out of Contour
At the Phoenicia in Beirut, I wasn’t expecting to run into Samer Khouzami. He was in town to host one of his masterclasses, drawing artist eager to learn the sculpted contours and luminous skin finishes that have become his signature. The choice of venue felt fitting: the Phoenicia has long been a crossroads for Lebanon’s cultural life, and Khouzami himself has become a similar kind of nexus – rooted in Arab identity, but increasingly in dialogue with the wider world.
How Tech-Driven Wellness Is Rewiring Recovery Culture in the Gulf
In the Gulf today, wellness is no longer a passive pursuit. It’s programmed, tracked, and increasingly precise. Across Dubai, Doha, and beyond, a new generation of men is embracing data-driven recovery as part of daily life. Cryotherapy isn’t a once-a-year splurge. It’s a Tuesday. This evolution isn’t happening in the shadows. It’s being led by a constellation of high-tech wellness hubs where performance, longevity, and aesthetics intersect.
What’s Inside The Bags of Arab It-Girls Who Master The Art of Summer?
The boarding pass is booked, the group chat is unhinged, and the playlist’s been ready since May. Packing? That’s the sacred part. The suitcase isn’t just clothes and moisturisers — it’s a whole summer moodboard: SPF with stories, sunglasses that mean business and a lip shimmer for every night. Summer doesn’t ask for subtlety. It wants glow. A bit of drama. The right scent trailing behind you through a market in Tangier or a terrace in Paros. These girls know the assignment — and revise it constantly.
What Is Arab Luxury Now?
Not long ago, “Arab luxury” might have summoned a certain image around the globe. It wasn’t inaccurate, but it was incomplete — an aesthetic shorthand that flattened a region’s cultural fluency into a single high-gloss frame. Now, that frame is cracking open. In its place: a new kind of refinement – not louder, but more layered. Across the Arab world, a quieter, more intentional luxury is taking shape, one that looks inward as much as it projects outward.
In Dubai, Your Wellness Routine Now Requires a Concierge
It begins with a WhatsApp message. Not to your trainer. Not even your doctor. This one goes straight to your wellness concierge– the person who knows how much NAD+ you need after last night’s tasting menu, who’s been monitoring your inflammation markers since your flight from Geneva, and who has already booked your 11:45 a.m. breathwork reset before your 1 p.m. board meeting. Wellness is no longer a menu. It’s a moodboard, a lifestyle, a logistical puzzle– and increasingly, a full-time job.
Tech-Driven Wellness Is Biohacking Recovery Culture in the Gulf
Wellness has grown to be a programmed, tracked, and increasingly precise pursuit. Across Dubai, Doha, and broader Gulf, a new generation of men is embracing data-driven recovery as part of daily life. Cryotherapy isn’t a once-a-year splurge – it’s a Tuesday. And that evolution is being led by a constellation of high-tech wellness hubs where performance, longevity, and aesthetics intersect.
Pucci Summer: The Return of Jet-Set Print Dressing
Some fashion returns are loud. Others are inevitable. Emilio Pucci’s revival is a little of both – a neon whisper, if you will. Suddenly, without warning, the house’s signature kaleidoscopic prints have resurfaced everywhere: clinging to Bella Hadid’s frame in archival mesh, tied around Sofia Richie Grainge’s waist like a sorbet-colored pareo, and popping up poolside in St. Barth’s, Ibiza, and Ras Al Khaimah like so many Mediterranean mirages. This is not, it should be said, Pucci’s first return.
Inside Dubai’s High-Tech Beauty Renaissance
The first thing you notice in Dubai isn’t the skyline or the Rolls-Royces or the smell of oud curling through every luxury lobby. It’s the faces – poreless, lifted, precisely contoured in that way that doesn’t scream intervention but whispers something like: “Yes, and?” Dubai, famously a city that doesn’t do understatement, has quietly become a global capital of aesthetic innovation.
Where MICHELIN Chefs Vacation and Where They Eat
Everyone needs a break, especially hard-working chefs who rarely get a day off. And when they do—when the last plate is fired, the knives are sheathed and the last diner’s wine glass has been cleared—they, too, find themselves on the road, in search of good weather, better company, and great food they didn’t have to cook. But chefs running MICHELIN restaurants aren’t just any travelers. They pack discerning palates along with their passports. So where do they go?
Modest Influencers and It-Girls to Know & Follow
For years, the global fashion establishment treated modest dressing as a niche — a category relegated to specialty racks, religious calendars, or footnotes in trend reports. It was something observed, not desired. Worn, not worn out. But scroll through the right Instagram feeds and you’ll find something different — something bolder, sharper, and unmistakably cool. Welcome to modesty 3.0: less rulebook, more individuality.
Court is in Session: Serena Williams’ Coach Launches Elite Tennis Centre in Abu Dhabi
Tennis has never been just a game, it’s a statement. And in Abu Dhabi, the sport is stepping into a new spotlight, fuelled by ambition, luxury, and a vision for the future. Enter the Mouratoglou Tennis Centre, nestled not in a hotel lobby or beachfront resort, but within the vibrant 321 Sports Complex on Hudayriyat Island. This is Patrick Mouratoglou’s 14th academy worldwide, and it’s shaping up to be a game-changer for the region.
Five MICHELIN-Starred Restaurants for Late-Night Dining in Miami
Miami doesn’t sleep. It glows. It pulses. It hums long after the last sunset selfie has been posted, and when most cities wind down, Miami dials up. The air is warmer, the music louder and the kitchens, if you know where to look, are still moving with the quiet intensity of chefs plating for people who might order Dom Pérignon with dessert.

The Khaleeji Man’s Guide to Skincare That Survives the Heat
The Gulf summer is no joke. Sun like a spotlight. Heat like a hairdryer. And the air – unless you’re under overzealous AC – veers between a sauna and a sandblaster. Welcome to peak UV season. Your skin? It’s begging for mercy. And yet, the average Gulf man persists, with nary a serum in sight. The modern wardrobe is curated, the fragrance game strong. So why is the skincare shelf still stuck in 2010? This summer, consider your complexion part of the fit.
The Regional Designers Rewriting Men’s Fashion Script
Each June, the global men’s fashion circuit descends on four cities that dictate the sartorial calendar: London, Milan, Paris and Florence. For decades, these runways have shaped what it means to dress the modern man and have largely reflected Eurocentric narratives. But beneath the familiar flashbulbs and fleeting trends, a quieter revolution has been gathering momentum. Designers of the region are no longer peripheral players or cultural curiosities in this space.
The Best Arab Restaurants in London to Try
The Heathrow Express is running, the air is thick with SPF and sultry ambition, and your WhatsApp group chat has gone suspiciously quiet. Which can only mean one thing: summer is here — and everyone is in London. Between pop-ups in Primrose Hill and Dior cafés in Mayfair, one trend quietly taking over this season isn’t buzzy, it’s deeply rooted: Arab cuisine, in all its regional, spicy, comforting, utterly unbothered glory. But this isn’t your cousin’s hummus plate.
From Street Stalls to MICHELIN Stars: The Evolution of Middle Eastern Cuisine in the Gulf
The shawarma is sliced tableside, of course. Not off a sputtering cart wrapped in foil and sweat, but from a bespoke stainless-steel spit in an open kitchen where the ventilation is as crisp as the toum, a creamy garlic paste. Street food — falafel, foul, grilled meats wrapped in taboon or tucked into pillowy pita — has long been the beating heart of Middle Eastern cuisine. But now, it’s having a glow-up.
Morocco Takes the Spotlight at Venice 2025: A Cinematic Renaissance in Real Time
At this year’s Venice Film Festival held in August, one of cinema’s most rarified and reflective stages, the North African nation will be honored as a featured country spotlighted at the Venice Production Bridge during the 82nd Venice Festival, marking the first time an Arab nation receives such recognition in the festival’s storied history. If ever there were a time to celebrate Moroccan cinema, this is it. For those who’ve been watching closely, the honor feels overdue.
Getaways to Spark Your Creative Spirit, No Artistic Talent Required
You don’t have to be a painter, poet, or musician to savour the exhilarating buzz of creativity. Often, creativity is less about innate talent and more about environment — a change of scene that breaks the monotony and invites fresh perspectives. The right escape can spark your imagination, coax new ideas from the quiet corners of your mind, and deepen your connection to the world — all without the need to pick up a brush or camera.
Where to Eat, Drink, and Celebrate Pride across the U.S. this June
At MICHELIN-rated restaurants and hotels this month, the rainbow isn’t just flying—it’s plated. From a glitter-garnished cocktail in Chicago to a charity tasting menu in San Francisco, Pride Month in 2025 isn’t just about parade routes or glitter bombs (though there’s that, too). It's also unfolding at the table, where chefs across MICHELIN-recognized kitchens are raising a glass—and a fork—to the LGBTQ+ community. Yes, Pride is a protest. But it’s also a party.
The Coolest Restaurant in New York is Run by 4 Women and a Bowl of Labneh
In a city whose kitchens remain curiously stubborn in their testosterone, Café Zaffri arrives like a scented breeze through a heavy velvet curtain: all elegance, zero pretense, unmistakably female. Tucked into a corner of The Twenty Two New York — the London export turned social club-hotel — it’s a dining room that feels like the afterglow of a whispered secret. Curved banquettes. Mood lighting. A menu you’ll want to eat twice.
Serving Looks: The Evolution of Tennis Style at Roland Garros
There are few fashion stages as rich in tradition—and ripe for subtle rebellion—as the red clay of Roland Garros. Each May, as the French Open serves up its spring spectacle of topspin and tension, the question isn’t just who will win the title—it’s who will serve the best look.
Why Beauty in the Middle East is Finally Looking Inward
Once upon a time — and not so long ago — the pinnacle of beauty in the Middle East came with a European accent. The standard was borrowed, the aspiration outsourced: ski-slope noses, button mouths, high cheeks forged not by DNA but by dermal filler. Today, the pendulum is swinging. The region is entering what could be called a beauty correction — not in the dermatological sense (though there's still plenty of that), but in the cultural one. The nose, once exiled, is back.
Arab Filmmakers Are Rewriting the Cannes Script
By now, everyone knows what to expect from Cannes: the slow-motion ascents up the Palais steps, the diamonds, the velvet-rope diplomacy of who’s in and who’s not. But this year, behind the flashbulbs and fashion headlines, something less performative is unfolding. Arab filmmakers are no longer just guests on the Croisette—they’re shaping its very pulse. Not with grandstanding, but with films that smolder instead of shout. In Cannes 2025, Arab cinema isn’t the sidebar. It’s the story.
Air Conditioning, Aperitifs, and Al Dente Pasta: A Summer Dining Guide to London
When the desert heat becomes unbearable, the Gulf's well-heeled set doesn't sweat—they relocate. London has long been the favoured seasonal playground for the region’s stylish escapees, its restaurants serving not just as places to eat but as glossy stages for post-shopping power lunches, discreet catch-ups, and late-night rendezvous that stretch into the haze of morning. The draw?
Salma Hayek, Livvy Dunne and More
Sports Illustrated is ushering in a new era of athletic and fashion models with its 2025 Swimsuit Issue, which promises to celebrate the achievements and style of some of the most influential athletes in the world.
Arab Cinema at Cannes is Having a Moment - But Don’t Call it One
The Cannes Film Festival isn’t just the world’s grandest stage for cinema — it’s also its most finely tuned mirror, reflecting not only the art but the politics, posturing, and latent anxieties of the film world. And this year, between the red carpets and Bella Hadid sightings, one truth has become unmistakable: Arab cinema has arrived, unapologetically, and on its own terms.
The Met Gala After-Parties: Where the Real Fashion Happened
The 2025 Met Gala ended with silk skirts trailing behind departing limos—but the real show began 18 floors above the city at The Standard’s iconic Boom Boom Room. There, Burna Boy and DJ Black Coffee hosted the night’s most electric after-party: a scene pulsing with sound, sequins, and serious star wattage. Against the backdrop of sweeping skyline views, Burna and Black Coffee turned the club into a sonic sanctuary of Afro-fusion and deep house. The guest list? Stratospheric.
Le dandysme noir expliqué, de ses racines au XVIIIème siècle à aujourd'hui
Il y a quelque chose de magnétique dans les plis nets d'un costume taillé sur mesure, l'éclat de chaussures en cuir ciré, le bruissement d'un carré de poche en soie. Mais le dandysme noir n'est pas seulement une question d'apparence ou de beauté : c'est un geste d'affirmation de soi dans un monde ayant longtemps cherché à circonscrire l'identité noire. Qu'est-ce donc que le dandysme noir ?
Qué es el dandismo negro: El tema que define la MET Gala 2025
¿Cómo entender realmente el dandismo negro? Y es que hay algo innegablemente magnético en los pliegues afilados de un traje a medida, el brillo de unos zapatos de piel pulida, el contoneo de un pañuelo de bolsillo de seda. Pero para el dandismo negro, no se trata sólo de lucir bien: Es una declaración. Una reivindicación desafiante del espacio en un mundo que durante mucho tiempo ha tratado de definir y confinar la identidad negra. Entonces, ¿qué es exactamente el dandismo negro?
Tutto sulla moda dei Black Dandy verso il Met Gala 2025, dai suoi significati storici ai tratti versatili e colorati di oggi
La moda dei Black Dandy è fondamentale per il Met Gala 2025, ma anche per la storia e l'autodeterminazione della comunità nera negli Stati Uniti e nel mondo: ecco le sue origini, i suoi significati e le sue evoluzioni C'è qualcosa di indubbiamente magnetico nelle pieghe nette di un abito sartoriale, nel luccichio delle scarpe di pelle lucida, nello sventare di un fazzoletto da taschino di seta.
