Set in a makeshift event space in the Tuileries gardens decorated by Indian artist Shakuntala Kulkarni, Dior kicked off Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday with the premiere of its Fall/Winter ‘24/25 Ready to Wear collection.

Over the past few years, eye shadow has rarely made it onto my face. Because I work from home, I’ve been sticking to makeup basics like concealer and brow gel.

It’s 2008, and Camila Alves McConaughey is in the shower, crying.
