En Pointe  | Marina Harss, Lauren Kane

Alexei Ratmansky’s new ballet, which premiered in Copenhagen this past fall, is an interpretation of Bach’s Art of the Fugue, a piece the composer left unfinished at the time of his death in 1750. As Marina Harss writes in our March 12, 2026, issue, the ballet shares the composition’s disrupted quality: “In Copenhagen Ratmansky was returning to a project that had been painfully interrupted when Russia invaded Ukraine.” So Harss traveled to Denmark, not only for the performance but also to spend time with Ratmansky and the dancers as they rehearsed before opening night. Harss has a particular affinity for Ratmansky’s work and for Ratmansky—she is his biographer. The Boy from Kyiv: Alexei Ratmansky’s Life in Ballet was published in 2023. As a critic, she writes on dance regularly and opera occasionally for The New Yorker, The New York Times, and The Hudson Review, among other publications. She has also translated books from the Italian and French, including The Mirador, Élisabeth Gille’s memoir of her mother, Irène Némirovsky; and Poem Strip, a graphic novel by …

Lauren Chapin dead: ‘Father Knows Best,’ “Star Is Born’ actor was 80

Published by Sam Flores

Lauren Chapin, the former child actor best known for portraying Kathleen Anderson in the 1950s series “Father Knows Best,” has died. She was 80. The actor’s son, Matthew Chapin, announced on Facebook that his mother succumbed to her “long hard fought battle” with cancer after five years. He did not disclose additional details about her death or her condition. He said in his post he is “at a complete loss for words right now.” “Please keep my sister and family in your thoughts and prayers as we go through this incredibly tough time,” Matthew Chapin added. Lauren Chapin, a Los Angeles native born on May 23, 1945, began her screen career in the 1950s with a minor role in 1954’s “A Star Is Born” starring Judy Garland and James Mason, appearances in TV including the anthology series “Lux Video Theatre” and the family sitcom “Father Knows Best.” “Father Knows Best” aired from 1954 to 1960 — bouncing between networks CBS and NBC — and starred Robert Young as the patriarch of the middle-class Anderson family. …

Lauren Sánchez Bezos Loves Suits, Be They Crimson, Fur-Collared, or Fringed

Published by Sam Flores

The bond between Lauren Sánchez Bezos and the fashion world is growing stronger, and during couture week in Paris, the journalist, entrepreneur, and wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos certainly did not leave her front row seat vacant. From Schiaparelli, which opened the Spring-Summer 2026 schedule, to Christian Dior, which marked Jonathan Anderson’s debut in the world of haute couture, Sánchez Bezos was present at some of the most anticipated shows. She smiled for the photographers, wearing different looks with one common thread: all three were suits. In fitted jacket and pencil skirt, Mrs. Bezos focused on a great wardrobe classic. The first was a fiery red skirt suit by Schiaparelli, with an artistic, sculptural touch, perfectly in line with the style of the house’s creative director Daniel Roseberry. She paired the suit with a handbag with details forming a trompe-l’oeil face and a pair of red five-inch pumps to create the total look.

Lauren Sánchez was a vision in vintage Versace as she stepped out during Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday, with the 56-year-old sporting a red and white tweed co-ord set as she headed to a show. The mother of three accessorized with white Jimmy Choo stilettos, a white Schiaparelli purse and brown sunglasses as she walked the streets of Paris and braved the rain. Lauren wore her brunette locks pulled back into a ponytail and added large diamond earrings to complete the look. Just a day prior, she made a statement at the Schiaparelli show in a bold red pantsuit alongside her husband, billionaire Jeff Bezos, whom she married in June.  © Nicolas Gerardin / BACKGRIDLauren looked incredible in the vintage Versace co-ord The couple, who began dating in 2019, tied the knot in Venice in a lavish $50 million wedding attended by the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, the Kardashians and Tom Brady.

With All Due Respect to Polo, RRL Is Ralph Lauren’s Most Ralph Lauren Label

With All Due Respect to Polo, RRL Is Ralph Lauren’s Most Ralph Lauren Label

Published by Jenni Sidey

2025 was Ralph Lauren’s year. That might not sound like much of a triumph: for the last five decades or so, every year has sort of been Ralph Lauren’s year. But 2025 was especially good to the maestro of American menswear, whose iconic pony logo has never been hotter, and whose genre-colliding vision of preppy style has never resonated harder. Amid all the crowing press blasts, though, it was easy to miss a slightly wonkier tidbit of Ralph Lauren lore: Doug Bihlmaier, the brand’s in-house vintage guru, was hanging up his threadbare chore coat for good—and auctioning off a treasure trove of grails from his own closet to celebrate. Bihlmaier’s retirement thrust the beloved archivist into the spotlight for more reasons than one. Unless you’re a regular on the estate sale circuit (or the forums that venerate Bihlmaier’s darned-to-death style) you probably weren’t aware of the role he played at RRL, Ralph Lauren’s deeply influential line of frontier Americana. Missed out on scoring a rare gem from Bihlmaier’s own closet? Don’t sweat it—you didn’t miss …

After Ugandan tyrant Idi Amin was ousted from power in 1979, his regime left behind mountains of paperwork generated by the state bureaucracy. Years later, the historian Derek Peterson painstakingly assembled it into an archive. As Helen Epstein writes in our January 15, 2026, issue, “crucial documents were buried under layers of old bicycles, junked photocopiers, and ancient dot matrix printouts. An intern found an unexploded bomb amid files stored at a police station, and valuable court records in another storeroom were being used as toilet paper by prisoners awaiting trial.” From this material, Peterson composed A Popular History of Idi Amin’s Uganda, which, Epstein writes, tries to address the questions “What must it have been like to live under such a regime? And how do societies in general behave under such pressure?” Epstein has been writing about Uganda for nearly thirty years, after working there in the early 1990s on a project to develop an AIDS vaccine. That involvement broadened into an abiding interest in Africa: for the Review, since 1998 she has written about …

In case you haven’t been on TikTok lately, Ralph Lauren is beloved by Gen-Z-ers, who are obsessed with his lifestyle flourishes, from the way he tucks his shirts to his high-WASP holiday decor. And as it turns out, he loves them back. On Friday evening, the opening night of Milan Fashion Week, Ralph Lauren commenced his fall 2026 men’s show with a masterclass in modern street style—as in, what kids actually wear out and about—filtered through Ralph’s wide world of Americana. There was an oversized Polo Sport rugby shirt, baggy jeans, toques perched perilously on top of heads, and tiny sunglasses. One model had a tartan scarf knotted around the upturned hood of his sweatshirt—a dead giveaway of a babyfaced menswear influencer.
