Dress probably kicked off the super

This icy, pretty lavender-y, lilac-y Prada dress probably kicked off the super-fashionista designer frock trend in a big way for the red carpet. Nominated for Pulp Fiction, Uma stood out from the general traditional, matron-y glamour at the time to wear something really fresh, clean yet sumptuous. I distinctly remember being bummed that I had graduated high school only a few years earlier; I totally would have knocked this off for a prom dress.

The first step to getting gorgeous brows

Wean yourself off tweezers and use scissors sparingly. It’s not easy, but don’t worry—even stars like Kim Kardashian have difficulty letting go. “Kim’s pretty good at doing her own brows, but sometimes when she travels she’ll trim too much and we’ll have to grow the hairs out again,” says Soare, Kardashian’s go-to brow guru.

Best Skin Moisturizer Monoï Oil

Price and I both have special attachments to the stuff: I visited Tahiti for the first time in 2005, physically and emotionally scarred by a double whammy of major surgery and a bad breakup, and found, in the paradisiacal island and the oil, a balm for both. Price had been fascinated by the purported beautifying properties of monoï for many years before introducing the ingredient in Carol’s Daughter’s recently launched Monoï Repairing Collection (featuring a shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask). When you stumble across a multitasking moisturizer said to deliver shiny, frizz-free hair and soft, glowy skin—and, in a single drop, an olfactive vacation—it’s hard not to become obsessed.

Eric Vaxelaire, the Institut du Monoï’s charismatic French-born director, echoes Nars’ sentiment as he drives Price and me past a tiare plantation, where the snow-white blossoms dot the landscape like stars. The heart of monoï’s appeal, he believes, is simple: It’s paradise in a bottle. “It creates a very strong, positive emotional response in people,” he says, “like Tahiti itself.” Because its prime ingredients can’t be produced anywhere else, monoï is imbued with an indelible sense of place: To use it is to sample the legendary sybaritic delights of the South Pacific, to be transported, in a sense, to its remote aquamarine lagoons and majestic volcanic peaks. I remember the sweet serenity I felt every time I opened the bottle I brought home from my first visit—it was as if the honking cars outside my Manhattan window dissolved, momentarily, into crashing waves. That it also imparted an island-goddess radiance to my skin and hair was just a bonus.
