“Lauren Hutton has always represented my ideal of warm-weather beauty. Unapologetically sun-kissed with salt water—and humidity-embracing waves, her look speaks of a life full of outdoor adventure which, as seen in American Gigolo, can just as easily translate to sultry late-night polish with a quick swirl of tawny makeup and a boar-bristle brush."

“I’ve had my hair in long braids for the last couple of months, and finally took them out a few weeks ago. But looking at YouTube clips and album covers of Nigerian singers the Lijadu Sisters in the late seventies makes me want to do braids all over again. I love the way they embellished their plaits with beads and wore fantastic dangling earrings to match.”

“Julie Delpy in the cult classic Before Sunrise is a master of French girl effortlessness. Her hair has girly flyaways, but not an ounce of frizz; her rosy skin is full-stop clear; and don’t even get me started on that subtly perfect coral shade of lipstick.”

“**Kristen Wiig’**s character in Bridesmaids is supposed to attend a summer wedding. Sure, she gets food poisoning, makes a plane land early, and dates a horrible jerk—nonetheless, even when everything goes wrong, she looks fantastic and is the best-looking of the bunch at the wedding!”

“Every year, I watch Rear Window. I love its New York-ness and its Greenwich Village-in-a-heat-wave apartment set. But most of all, I love Grace Kelly, with all of her gobsmacking outfit changes and her cool unruffled beauty. She’s the ultimate summer-in-the-city muse, just gliding along above it all.”

“I’ve been contemplating cutting my hair for about a year now, and after seeing the movie
Dope, **Kiersey Clemons'**s short, curly 'fro convinced me to chop it two days later. The amount of time spent on my hair has been reduced from 30 minutes to ten."

“As someone with thick, wavy hair, I loved seeing **Kate Hudson’**s natural-looking curls when her character Andie Anderson visits Benjamin Barry’s Staten Island hometown in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. The summer in New York City gets so hot and sticky, I rarely feel particularly motivated to spend an hour straightening my hair when I will most likely pull it into a ponytail anyway.”

"Without flinching, Marcia Brady. She's not only my beauty muse this summer from her sun-kissed hair and tanned skin, but, in many ways, she was the muse of the spring runway shows. Saint Laurent, anyone?"

“You’ve got to love how Julia Roberts, aka Daisy, wears her natural curls in Mystic Pizza. Just because you don't spend 30 (sweaty) minutes drying out your hair, you can still look put-together with beachy vibes.”
