Former First Ladies Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, Michelle Obama and Melania Trump Remember Rosalynn Carter — a Look Back at Each One’s Political Legacy

On Nov. 19, former First Lady Rosalynn Carter passed away at the age of 96. She is survived by her husband, former President Jimmy Carter, who fondly remembers his spouse as “[his] equal partner in everything [he] ever accomplished.” All five living first ladies appeared at Rosalynn Carter’s memorial service, paying their respects to the woman who forever altered the position of FLOTUS. Below, WWD recounts the legacies of Carter and the five most recent first ladies. Rosalynn Carter Portrait of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter in 1977. Carter greatly expanded the definition of what it means to be a first lady. She was the first FLOTUS to install her own chief of staff, a position that’s existed in the White House since. Unlike her predecessors, Carter was a frequent fixture at her husband’s cabinet meetings. She also took hints from Eleanor Roosevelt, using her status to champion important causes. Carter lobbied to pass the Equal Rights Amendment, and she frequently advocated for mental health awareness. “I don’t think there will ever be another first lady who will be just a hostess and pour tea,” Carter once told the New York Times. While Carter wasn’t known for her sense of style, she pioneered sustainable dressing

EXCLUSIVE: Fans Can Now Buy Versace-clad Claudia Schiffer Barbie

After releasing three one-of-a-kind dolls sharing the supermodel’s likeness, the first Claudia Schiffer Barbie is available for purchase starting Wednesday. Mattel’s latest celebrity lookalike, retailing for $100, sports one of Schiffer’s iconic runway looks: a pleated teal gown from Versace’s fall 1994 couture show. “Wearing that gown for the first time was a moment I will never forget,” Schiffer told WWD. “Versace, at the time, was really pioneering a new form of fashion presentation. I remember walking down the runway to a Prince track, with Prince sitting front row; it was electric.” Claudia Schiffer walks in Versace’s fall 1994 couture show. Schiffer originally partnered with Mattel in 2017, when the toy manufacturer debuted another Versace-clad doll inspired by a 1994 Vogue Italia photo shoot. Three years later, in celebration of her 50th birthday, Mattel released two more Schiffer Barbies: one wearing the aforementioned blue gown, and another dressed in a Balmain design similar to one worn by Schiffer in the label’s spring 2016 campaign. “When Claudia first stepped into the runaway, with her blonde, long hair and the angelic face, the whole world immediately saw her as the personification of Barbie,” Donatella Versace said in a 2020 press release.

Sydney Sweeney Re-teams With Ford for Second Workwear Capsule Inspired by Her Vintage Mustang

Sydney Sweeney has once again joined forces with Ford. Following a debut four-item drop earlier this year, an updated workwear line is here just in time for the holidays. The collection includes five pieces inspired by Sweeney’s 1965 Mustang, which she affectionately calls “Britney.” The car’s moniker doesn’t refer to a certain pop star, but rather, the shade name of its pale blue paint. “Brittany Blue” was first introduced by Ford in the ’60s. “I’ve always loved Mustangs,” Sweeney told WWD of her latest vintage automobile acquisition (the actress also owns a 1969 Ford Bronco). “Blue is my favorite color, so when I saw the color scheme of it, I thought it was the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen.” Ford x Sydney Sweeney This pastel hue is incorporated throughout the latest Ford x Sydney Sweeney range, matching the racing stripes on a khaki zip-up jacket ($99.99) and the the brim of a two-tone cap ($34.99).

The Battle of Versailles Fashion Show at 50: The Designers, the Stars and All of the Backstage Drama

In the ’70s, the Palace of Versailles had fallen into disrepair. The centuries-old chateau was plagued by termites and leaks had sprung from its gilded ceilings. In need of money for restoration, Versailles’ head curator, Gérald Van der Kemp, sought the advice of fashion publicist and CFDA founder, Eleanor Lambert, who dreamt up the fundraiser that WWD coined the “Battle of Versailles.” Fifty years ago, 10 designers engaged in a stylish skirmish that would solidify Stateside couturiers as fashion forces to be reckoned with. As WWD’s former editor in chief, John B. Fairchild, wrote in 1973, “Americans came, they sewed, they conquered.” Ahead, a look back at the legendary Battle of Versailles. Which designers went to “battle?” The event pitted French and American fashion designers against each other, with Oscar de la Renta, Halston, Stephen Burrows, Bill Blass and Anne Klein — all of whom happened to be clients of Lambert’s — making up the latter contingent. Together, they took on Yves Saint Laurent, Hubert de Givenchy, Emmanuel Ungaro, Pierre Cardin and Christian Dior’s then-creative director, Marc Bohan. What happened at the Battle of Versailles? Each designer came armed with eight unique looks, some of which weren’t completed until the early morning hours of Nov.

Rickie De Sole, Nordstrom Women’s fashion director, confirms that carrying an everyday mini bag is an excellent idea. “We are so often running around with totes full of stuff — computers, keys, phones,” she says. “You’ll need to edit down what is in your mini bag, but there’s something very liberating about carrying less.” Why are mini designer handbags resurfacing?

The 10 Best Washable Rugs That Withstand Spills, Pets, and More

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Traditional rugs are generally high-maintenance, requiring professional cleaners or delicate hand-washing to keep them in mint conditions.

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. When you picture a recliner, you probably picture a gigantic chair from your grandparents’ house that’s covered in a dated fabric. Lucky for you, we’ve rounded up the best recliners to shop in 2023, and they have certainly evolved. Newer recliners have a slimmer footprint and are available in luxe materials that work with any design aesthetic. Think chic leather beauties, trendy bouclé glider chairs, and maximalist recliners that invite you to put on your hoodie and favorite sweatpants, lean back, and get comfortable. Recliners serve a similar purpose as a couch or daybed: They’re a place to get comfortable and perhaps even catch some zzz’s. Of course, recliners have a much smaller footprint and lower price tag than your average sofa, making them a convenient and price-conscious option. They’re also able to be placed in practically any living space. Several of the recliners we’ve highlighted here are marketed as nursery chairs, but they’re so comfortable we think you’ll find a place for them even if you don’t have a baby on the way.

The 7 Best Affordable Mattresses for Quality Sleep

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Lifestyle habits and day-to-day happenings play into a quality night of sleep, but few things are as impactful on your rest as what you’re actually sleeping on. A luxurious night of sleep doesn’t always require a pricey bed — the best affordable mattresses provide a satisfying evening of shuteye. When you hear the term “affordable mattress,” your first thought may be that there’s no way it can be as good as one of the more expensive options out there. These days, however, that’s not the case. “An affordable mattress doesn’t mean it’s not a good quality one,” says interior designer Soledad Alzaga of Soledad Alezaga Interior Design. “Companies have figured out how to produce better mattresses [and] streamline production, making buying a good quality mattress more affordable.” There are many reasons to choose a more affordable mattress, including finding one for a guest room, a temporary living situation (like living in a dorm or working abroad for a year), or finding one for children who will move out in a few years.

Its origins unfold from the early 2000s to its current status as an anticipated online shopping event. In 2023, shoppers have a plethora of discounts and deals to look forward to during Cyber Monday and Black Friday, with Sephora, Ulta Beauty and Nordstrom starting holiday discounts early (the Sephora Sale began in October and Ulta Beauty is advertising up to 50 percent off online). Nordstrom is boasting deals of up to 70 percent off the week of Thanksgiving and advertising Cyber Monday deals, too. According to experts from Boston Consulting Group, despite inflation and a tense geopolitical landscape, shoppers still plan to spend this holiday season. A consumer behavior survey published by the e-commerce company Shopify titled “Shopify-Gallup Holiday Shopping Pulse” pointed out that nearly 75 percent of shoppers plan to spend the same or more on gifts compared to last year. Why Is It called Cyber Monday?

The Festive Evolution of White House Christmas Trees and Decor Over the Years, From Kennedy to Biden

Elaborate Christmas decorations, including a massive Christmas tree, have become a staple of White House end-of-year decor over the last 70 years. The first Christmas tree in the White House dates back to 1889 when Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd president of the U.S., decorated the tree with candles. Christmas trees, originating in Germany, gained popularity in the U.S. in 1850 but didn’t become a widespread tradition until an artificial tree was invented in the 1930s. Not every presidential family set up trees in the White House; it depended if they typically celebrated with a tree, had young kids or grandkids, and lived in the White House during the holidays. The first Christmas tree lit by electric lights is believed to have been used by Grover Cleveland in 1894, three years after the White House got electricity. First Lady Mamie Eisenhower established the tradition of setting up the tree in the Blue Room, which has been continued by every first lady, except when Patricia Nixon set her American flowers-themed tree up in the Entrance Hall. Jacqueline Kennedy created the tradition of the first lady choosing a theme for the White House Christmas tree in 1961. Since 1966, the National Christmas Tree Association has held
