November is here, which means we’re hurtling full throttle into the holiday season. But before we go all-in on turkey, twinkle lights, and festive dressing, there’s much to celebrate and appreciate right now.
Take our November cover star, Rose Byrne, for example. She’s coming off a whirlwind year that included an epic awards season and a Tony-nominated Broadway stint, and now she’s starring in the new series The Good Daughter. But as she tells writer Estelle Tang in our cover story, “The Rise and Rise of Rose Byrne,” she hasn’t had much time to stop and reflect on all those highs—she’s already being swept up in the excitement of what’s next.
While we’re on the topic of reflection, can we take a moment to talk about where all the dress codes have gone? Think about what you saw people wearing the last time you were at an airport or enjoying a special night out at the theater. Writer Aemilia Madden investigates this mystery, wondering whether etiquette has gone the way of the dodo as she spots sweatpants popping up at occasions that once called for more formal attire. Meanwhile, someone who certainly has a handle on dressing for different occasions is Eva Chen, who breaks down her method (or, sometimes, lack thereof) for mixing and matching the pieces in our latest “How I Get Dressed” column.
This issue also includes an essay from Beauty Director Lauren Valenti on how she’s “curlmaxxing” after her baby stole, as she playfully puts it, her signature curls. And commerce editor Irene Richardson takes us behind the scenes of Oh, Mary!’s costume department to explore the inspiration behind the iconic dress worn by its rotating cast of Mary Todd Lincoln impersonators.

Woven natural fibers like wicker, straw, and raffia aren’t just for sun-soaked summer days; these textures deserve a place in your fall wardrobe, too. Styled with the season’s richer colors, heavier fabrics, and layered silhouettes, they add unexpected warmth and dimension to fall dressing. Think beyond basic straw styles and embrace the fibrous art in unexpected, wearable ways, from Dior’s cannage prints inspired by woven cane seats to Lafayette 148 New York’s raffia-effect pieces.
For those not ready to commit to the look head-to-toe, accessories are an easy way to experiment with the trend. A Prada wicker bucket bag or Pamela Munson’s structured number add an organic element to everyday outfits, while Simon Miller’s raffia wedges, Déhanche’s woven belt, and Johanna Ortiz’s statement necklace prove that adding a bit of texture can make even the simplest ensemble feel special. The beauty of these pieces lies in their versatility: They bring a little bit of artisanal charm and natural texture to everything from tailored trousers and sleek dresses to oversized knits and classic denim.
