Daniel Boulud Opens His First Steakhouse La Tête d’Or

Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud, known for French fine dining, has always wanted to open a steakhouse. With La Tête d’Or, the newest restaurant under the chef’s Dinex Group, Boulud is offering his take on the classic American culinary genre.  “I always joke that five years ago I became American, and so that made it even more legitimate for me to do [a steakhouse],” he says. “But it’s still with the French touch. It’s an American French steakhouse.” The restaurant is named for a park in Boulud’s hometown of Lyon, France, and the menu features classic steakhouse dishes filtered through Boulud’s refined approach.  “I really wanted to have the foundation of a classic steakhouse, with a celebration of seafood,” says Boulud of his approach to the menu, which features extensive raw bar options. The main draw at La Tête d’Or though is the beef, offered in various breeds — Angus, several styles of Wagyu — and cuts, from Porterhouse to French-style Côte de boeuf and filet mignon. Meat is cooked using wood and charcoal-fire grills, and finished with sauces and butters that are selected by guests. There are also several side options and seven options for potatoes, from pommes frites to pomme purée and

Zhou Guanyu’s Emblematic Rise on the Formula 1 Fashion Scene

Fashion is in Zhou Guanyu’s blood — literally. Unlike many Formula 1 drivers whose parentage is often linked to the broader motorsports industry, Guanyu’s mother was a fashion designer and worked on fashion sets. As the first Chinese driver in Formula 1, Guanyu has continued to break barriers in the motorsports space and beyond. Especially in China’s market, his popularity has skyrocketed since he joined Sauber’s Formula 1 team two years ago — Guanyu boasts more than 4 million followers across social media platforms Weibo, Xiaohongshu (or Little Red Book) and Instagram. Most notably, Guanyu is a brand ambassador for Dior in China and has worked with the likes of Lululemon, Puma, LVMH’s Hennessy and more over the years. This year also marked the sport’s return of the Chinese Grand Prix to the sport’s calendar, held in Shanghai — where Guanyu was born. He received a hero’s welcome and was given a special spot to park his car on the grid post-race to celebrate his first home race. Zhou Guanyu was honored for being the first Chinese driver ever to race at a Chinese Grand Prix this year. Viola Meng, a Shanghai-based fashion designer and vice president of the Association of Image Consultants International Chapters East,

How ’Emilia Pérez’s Costumes Pay Homage to Saint Laurent’s History in Netflix’s Musical Thriller

“Emilia Pérez” is one of the year’s most ambitious films, springing to the center of conversation from the moment it premiered at Cannes, where it won the Jury Prize and the cast won the Best Actress award, to its release this month on Netflix. The film, directed by Jacques Audiard, stars Karla Sofía Gascón as Emilia Pérez and Juan “Manitas” Del Monte, Zoe Saldaña as Rita Mora Castro and Selena Gomez as Jessi Del Monte, and is a Spanish-language musical based on Audiard’s opera libretto. The story follows Manitas, a cartel leader in Mexico who contacts a lawyer to help him transition in secret and start a new life.  For the project, Audiard tapped Virginie Montel as both artistic director and costume designer. Anthony Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent Productions is a coproducer on the film, and many of the costumes came from Vaccarello’s archives. Montel had been involved in this story for so long that the first pages she recalls reading had Saldana’s character as a man. “But then it became a woman’s movie,” she says. The opportunity to work on a musical with big dance numbers appeared to her from the beginning. “It was the singing and dancing. It opens a lot of possibilities that we

‘Wicked’ Movie Costume Designer Paul Tazewell Decodes His Approach to Dressing Ariana Grande’s Glinda and Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba

While Ariana Grande’s and Cynthia Erivo’s press tour fashion has caught the eye of “Wicked” fans prerelease, audiences are about to witness the main sartorial moment for the film’s two leads. Costume design for the movie was led by Tony-winning costume designer Paul Tazewell, who tapped into the deep visual precedent for the characters. “I love fantasy work as a designer,” says Tazewell, who designed the costumes for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway musicals “Hamilton” and “In the Heights,” the latter of which was adapted for the screen by “Wicked” director Jon M. Chu. “I also love period work. And this ends up being a combination of both.” The iconic 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz” and musical stage production of “Wicked” both inspired Tazewell’s approach to the costume design onscreen. “Designing the film, I also acknowledge the fact that there’s a huge fan base for the musical of ‘Wicked.’ It was important to really draw that audience in as well with what we’re doing and how I’m representing the characters,” he says of paying homage to the most popular fashion moments from the stage production. “And try to inspire the same kind of feeling when audiences see [the film],” he adds. “That said,

Richard Dickson, President and CEO of Gap Inc., on Reinventing an American Icon

Having ascended Barbie to silver screen stardom when he was Mattel president and CEO, Richard Dickson has a reputation for transforming American icons. Now at Gap Inc., the industry is eagerly watching what he does with another one. At WWD’s recent Apparel & Retail CEO Summit, held Oct. 29 and 30 in New York, Dickson, Gap Inc. president and CEO, sat down with WWD executive editor Booth Moore to discuss his plans for Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic and Athleta. To listen to the podcast, CLICK HERE. “We’ve laid out four priorities for the company and the roadmap, if you will, towards our transformational progress,” Dickson said. “The first, which we repeat relentlessly, is financial and operational rigor. Strengthening our platform — technology, HR, legal, global supply chain, all the support systems to enable our brands to essentially do what they do — is third. And last, but certainly not least and very high on my priority list, is to strengthen our culture. The cultural part, particularly of a legacy company, is such an important and powerful tool that you really need to reinvigorate and inspire.” Tapping designer Zac Posen, executive vice president and creative director at Gap Inc. and chief creative officer at

Eight Fall Fashion Trends that Sum Up the Horse Girl Aesthetic, As Seen on TikTok and the Runway

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. 2024 is shaping up to be the year of the horse girl. While Beyoncé’s foray into country music with “Cowboy Carter” helped spur an interest in Western styles, equestrian fashions of the English variety are also capturing the attention of designers and the TikTok set. Models at Prada and Celine’s fall 2024 shows trotted down the runway in helmet-like headgear and riding boots, while Louis Vuitton and Isabel Marant doubled down on cowboy essentials like fringe and double denim. On TikTok, “equestrian chic” and “English countryside chic” have emerged as two popular hashtags, with users styling outfits inspired by the off-duty wardrobes of the upper class: particularly, their well-established penchant for equestrian sports. This can be associated with the popularity of the “Old Money” aesthetic on the app, which seeks to emulate the styles of Gwyneth Paltrow, Princess Diana and Shiv Roy of “Succession,” among others, whose minimalist high-end wardrobes eschew ostentatious displays of wealth. Meanwhile, celebrity equestrians such as Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Kacey Musgraves — who revealed a horse girl-approved Reformation capsule in September — have taken their favorite hobby

EXCLUSIVE: Khloé Kardashian Brings First Solo Fragrance to Market With Luxe Brands

Khloé Kardashian’s fragrance business is coming into focus — and gearing up for a global launch. Called XO Khloé, the first scent in Kardashian’s partnership with Luxe Brands is launching at Harrods on Nov. 25 in the U.K. and Ulta Beauty in the U.S. on Dec. 1. Prices range from $58 to $78. Years in the making, the fragrance opens with top notes of crystallized rose petals, lavender and sage blossom; has heart notes of orange blossom water, praline and juicy peach; and dries down to tonka bean, soft wood and sexy musks for the base notes. Firmenich perfumers Alberto Morillas and Clement Gavarry collaborated with Kardashian on the scent. While not Kardashian’s first stab at making a scent, it is her most personal. “The other creations I did in the fragrance world, I either did with my ex-husband or I did with my sisters. I’ve never done one completely on my own, which is really cool but also nerve-wracking. It’s all reliant on you,” she said in an exclusive interview. “It is scary, but it’s also really liberating that I get to do it all on my own.” Kardashian said fragrance is “the perfect beauty avenue” for her, given the emotional qualities of the
