Vogue Editors On Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Epic MSG Wedding

This week, Chloe Malle sat down with Vogue France's Claire Thomson-Jonville and Vogue Runway's chief critic Sarah Mower straight from the Balenciaga show at the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris to unpack the emotional highs of Couture Week's opening days. The trio's biggest topic was Pierpaolo Piccioli's first couture outing for the house, a collection they agreed felt unmistakably like his own after two seasons of ready-to-wear spent reconciling his sensibility with Demna's legacy. Under a blazing midday sun, with Cynthia Erivo, Naomi Watts, and Teyana Taylor among those fanning themselves in the front row, Piccioli sent out feather-heavy, richly colored looks. The conversation then rewound to Monday's openers, starting with Daniel Roseberry's Schiaparelli show, where a chrome runway and body-conscious, skin-like silicone pieces reflected an unusually experimental research process: rather than his usual research trip, Roseberry said he'd spent time at a company that manufactures silicone baby dolls. From there, talk turned to Jonathan Anderson's second couture collection for Dior, which the panel read as a loosening of the house's codes, with knotted, sculptural details inspired by artist Lynda Benglis softening the rigor of the bar suit into something more fluid and wearable. Matthieu Blazy's fairy-tale-inspired second couture show for Chanel was filled with joy and whimsy, with jacket linings stitched with each model's handwritten to-do list (i.e. “Pizza in fridge.”) They close on a lighter note about the practical realities of front-row life in a Paris heat wave, from designers rethinking fabric for a warming climate to the season's must-have accessory: a hand fan, tucked into every micro-bag that could fit one.

This weekend marked America’s 250th anniversary, but all we were talking about was what was going on with the wedding of the century. Over the holiday weekend, America’s biggest popstar Taylor Swift tied the knot with football player Travis Kelce at New York’s Madison Square Garden.  Stepping in while our hosts were away, Senior Features Editor Marley Marius sat down with two Vogue staffers who are Swifties and were closely following the wedding festivities: Anna Grace Lee and Anna Cafolla. Lee shared that she attended Swift’s first ever MSG concert back in 2009 as part of her Fearless tour. The group discussed the unusual location, the surprising officiant Adam Sandler, the guests both expected and unexpected, the Dior dress, possible honeymoon locations, and everything in between.  “It reads sort of like Mad Libs,” Lee noted, “It’s as if someone was like ‘Who would you have at your dream dinner party?’ and then you could have all of those people.” Some of the standouts attendees included Karlie Kloss, Selena Gomez, Fergie, Gigi Hadid, Lena Dunham and Cara Delevingne.  The podcast also got a few dispatches from Voguers who were following closely over the weekend. Chloe, who is currently at Paris Couture Week, shared her speculations on Taylor’s dress after attending Jonathan Anderson’s Dior couture show, which classically closed with a couture bride. The rallying cry from fans and gawkers alike still remains: release the photos (please)!!   The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

“You know when you interview someone and you know they're gonna be a star?” Chioma asks Chloe on today’s episode of the podcast. For Chioma, that moment came in the winter of 2020 when she first interviewed Anok Yai for the April Global Runway cover. Back then Yai was just at the beginning of her career, and now six years later, in celebration of her June British Vogue cover story, Chioma chatted with her again, this time for the podcast.  With couture just around the corner, Yai is working out and journaling but the couture schedule is much more laid back. She’s grateful for the more open schedule as well as for the intricate pieces she gets to model. Recalling an Alexander McQueen show which she considers one of the most distinct she tells Chioma that upon looking at the dress she remarked “I can’t believe a human being made this.”  The British Vogue profile, written by British Vogue’s Beauty and Wellness Director Funmi Fetto, explores a recent difficult chapter in Yai’s life in which she became seriously ill. Yai becomes emotional, talking to Chioma about that challenging period. “While I was in the hospital, I wasn't really thinking about my career at all. And then there was one day when I was feeling frail. I remember thinking, "Oh, I could pass away right now, and there's nothing I can do about it."” “It took a while for me to find an understanding of why,” she says. But it has also given her a new lease on life and a perspective for how precious and fragile life is, ‘I respect what I was put through.I look at life with whole new eyes.” Recovery was a slow road but she credits her friends and family for supporting her through that period.  They also talk about the shoot itself and being on set with two of her closest collaborators, photographer Rafael Pavarotti and hair stylist Jawara, as well as both of her parents—a family affair! Also on today’s episode, Chloe and Chioma share about their recent mini vacations to Il Pellicano, Italy and Charleston, South Carolina respectively and look ahead to this weekend which might contain the wedding of the century: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden.

From Ralph Lauren’s master class in American eclecticism and the return of skinny jeans (!) at Prada to Dior’s day-after party boys and Michael Rider’s expansive, energetic Celine, the spring 2027 men’s season has reached its conclusion (that is, until September, when the brands that show their collections co-ed-style rev up). It was a season dominated by flowing suits (Armani, Soshiotsuki), smooshed little shoes (Celine, Auralee), dreamy, sherbert-y colors (Dries Van Noten, Saint Laurent), and wild swerves (Rick Owens, Junya Watanabe). Everything a man could want, really. In this week’s episode of The Run-Through, Nicole Phelps talks to contributing fashion critic Luke Leitch (just hours off the plane from Jacquemus’s show in Corsica) and senior fashion news editor Max Berlinger about what they saw on the catwalks of Europe, and what their big takeaways were from the spring 2027 season as it stands now. Discussed is Ralph Lauren’s masterful follow-up to last season’s beloved show (most viewed of the season), and Leitch’s admiration for the quality of both the label’s high-end Purple collection as well as the more populist Polo line; the skinny jeans revival at Prada (despite Raf Simons and Mrs. Prada being avowed denim-averse), see-through shoes at Saint Laurent, the showstopping wave at Louis Vuitton, and much more. But most of all, the talk was the triumph that was Michael Rider’s Celine. “You had formality, informality, ceremony, lack of ceremony, athleticism,” Leitch said. “There was a lot of really playful accessory details. And I think that that would've been my highlight [was the] easy approach to eclecticism and a kind of everything everywhere all at once approach— it feels to me like it's the mood of the moment.”  The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

Olivia Wilde’s third film, The Invite, comes to theaters later this week and to mark the occasion, she joins Chloe in the studio. The movie, which is a remake of the Spanish film called The People Upstairs, tells the story of a couple who invite their neighbors over for dinner. Hijinks ensue!  She and Chloe began by talking about the confluence of their children and their work. Wilde describes her children as being extremely influential and involved in her work. “They really feel like they have a strong handle on, like, the marketplace,” she laughed. They then dug into both her third directorial work as well as her upcoming role as an artist and dominatrix in Gregg Araki’s I Want Your Sex. The elephant in the room of that topic was the May-December romance—she plays a woman who becomes involved sexually with a much younger man. When asked if she drew at all from personal experience in the role she explained: “I think that experiencing the double standards firsthand has been fascinating from an anthropological standpoint. And it is so much more egregious than I think I ever really thought. People have such a double standard about what we allow women to do in this world when it comes to romance.” Also on today’s episode, Chloe and Chioma chat about Chioma’s new newsletter Nnadi by Nature, the Coco Gauff Miu Miu x New Balance collaboration, and the launch of Vogue a la Mode at Morgenstern’s ice cream shop in the Lower East Side.  The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

Stylist Carlos Nazario and photographer Tyler Mitchell, who worked together on the summer issue’s “Lone Star State of Mind: Snapshots of Texans Today” shoot, first met when Mitchell was an intern at Art Partner. A mutual friend introduced them and showed Nazario some of Mitchell’s photos. Mitchell was intimidated. “I instantly was like, this kid’s amazing” Nazario told Chloe Malle on the latest episode of The Run-Through.  Mitchell began photographing as a teenager in Atlanta and quickly became a serious student of the medium. “I started to realize that the images that we're surrounded with in our daily lives are made by pretty much 12 people. I was like, there should be more voices here. That was really the call to action for me.” His perseverance paid off. In 2018, when he was just 23 years old, he was asked to shoot Beyonce’s fourth Vogue cover for the September issue.  The creative duo came to the studio to discuss this stunning shoot from the summer issue, in which they travelled to Texas to capture an array of images that represent both modern Texan life and more broadly what some of America’s diversity looks like. Among their subjects were Dallas-born model Ruth Deng and her family, an Austin-based escaramuza team, a Houston-based cowboy, and The Ocean of Soul, Texas Southern University’s celebrated marching band. Though neither of them had spent significant time in the state prior to the shoot, Mitchell felt it was critical for them to be there. “We have to look at the South. To understand the dynamics of this country, one cannot avert their eyes from the South.” Vogue’s summer issue, which highlights America’s 250th anniversary, really required that the masthead and the pair think deeply about what this celebration would look like. “My first thought was it's a complicated time in our history,” Mitchell noted, “And so without being naive to that reality, how do we address people's real lives?” Their response, he jokes, to that difficult request, was to head straight to the borderlands—they decided to set part of this photo series in Big Bend National Park, which straddles the Texas-Mexico border.  In a very American turn of events, just as Vogue was settling on the national park as a location, news came out about the possibility of building a border wall through the middle of it. Plans to build this wall through the park have since been called off, but the prospect of such a development still loomed large over the shoot. “Your phone actually changes time zones down there,” Nazario explained. “But you also get down there, and you are in the river, and you're thinking, borders are so arbitrary,” Mitchell added.  The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

Designer Simone Rocha makes her menswear runway debut today as guest designer at Pitti Uomo in Florence. Nicole Phelps sat down with Rocha just a few days ahead of the debut and to discuss why now felt like the right time to give her menswear line its own runway spotlight, how independence has shaped her career, and the family legacy behind her approach to design. Reflecting on everything from her days at Central Saint Martins to dressing figures like Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor, Rocha shares her vision of a “tender, intimate masculinity”—and explains why she still loves surprising her audience. For headlines, Phelps and Chloe Malle are joined by Vogue Runway senior fashion news editor Max Berlinger for a globetrotting edition of The Run-Through that begins at the World Cup and ends on the menswear runways of Milan, Paris, and Florence. Fresh from France’s opening match against Senegal at MetLife Stadium, Chloe reports on the tournament’s unexpectedly chic sidelines—from sold-out Nike x Jacquemus training jerseys to French players arriving with covetable Chanel and Hermès bags. The trio also discusses New York’s euphoric Knicks celebrations and why sports fandom is becoming one of fashion’s most compelling new front rows. Then, attention turns to the upcoming men’s shows. The hosts break down what to expect from Milan, where Ralph Lauren’s return continues what Max dubs a “Ralph-aissance,” alongside runway outings from Prada and Armani. In Paris, anticipation is building around Michael Rider’s first standalone menswear show for Celine, Jonathan Anderson’s evolving vision for Dior Men, Sarah Burton’s menswear debut at Givenchy, and Simon Porte Jacquemus’s grand finale in Corsica. Along the way, the conversation touches on the return of slimmer silhouettes, the rise of low-profile footwear, and the designers poised to define the next chapter of menswear.

Margaux Anbouba, Vogue’s senior wellness and beauty editor, is happy to be a bit of a guinea pig when it comes to wellness and beauty trends. “I think I am sometimes too game to try something, but it’s a lot of fun,” she says. “It’s a hazard of the job, I suppose.” On this Tuesday’s episode of The Run-Through, she sits down with Chloe to talk about everything she’s been testing in the wellness sphere lately—and what she’s learned along the way. They start off by discussing one of the hottest—and most hotly contested—wellness opt-ins on the market right now: peptides. Margaux recently visited longevity specialist Dr. Amanda Kahn, “the peptide princess” of the Upper East Side, for a lengthy introductory appointment in which they covered her full medical and personal history. “I talked to her about how I’m feeling emotionally, how I’m feeling physically, and then she came back to me with this incredible list of peptides I could try.” Margaux plans to test out several different options in her stack, among them a microdose of an off-label GLP-1 to reduce inflammation throughout her body. She’s also trying GHK to boost skin regeneration, and CB-4211 for increased exercise capacity and energy. As someone who is relatively new to exercising, Margaux tells Chloe about Emsculpt, a high-intensity electrical muscle stimulation treatment to tighten and tone. (Another similar technology is the lower-intensity EMS, designed for use while working out.) “It’s sort of Black Mirror-ish, in a way,” she says. The first time she tried Emsculpt, Margaux was incredibly sweaty after removing the device from her stomach. The second time, less so. (Four sessions are generally recommended by practitioners.) The pair also talk about one of Margaux’s favorite activities: the buccal massage, which she now gets done in the comfort of her home. “Buccal” refers to the mid-face area right below the cheekbone, and the massage is administered both inside and outside of the mouth (yes, you read that correctly!). Mariam Saprichyan, an esthetician at Karine Kazarian in New York, explains that the method opens up the lymph nodes, helps with blood flow, and relieves much of the tension we hold in our faces. And there will always be more to try! To hear the latest on Oura Ring sleep scores, preferred sunscreens, and Margaux’s hot takes on colonoscopies, check out the episode and subscribe to her weekly beauty newsletter, I Tried That.

As someone who has been in the spotlight for most of her life, Zoë Kravitz is still figuring out how to navigate the way that fans see her. “I know a lot of people will tell me after we get to know each other that I seem intimidating or standoffish, or like maybe I’m a bitch or something, which I think is funny ’cause I don’t think that’s who I am,” she tells Chioma on this Thursday’s episode of The Run-Through. Often regarded as a “cool girl” for her effortless style and unmistakable talent as an actress and director, Zoë admits she doesn’t connect with that identifier. “I don’t really know what the word cool even means anymore. We kind of throw these words around like cool and iconic, and I’m like, ‘What are we talking about?’ But it’s funny. I think in some ways it’s a compliment because, you know, maybe it just means that I seem relaxed and kind of comfortable in my own skin.” Over the past year, the British Vogue cover star has made headlines with her rumored engagement to Harry Styles. But in this candid interview, she discusses her life beyond the media circus—from starring in an upcoming heist film, How to Rob a Bank, alongside her friend and frequent co-star Nicholas Hoult, as well as Anna Sawai, John C. Reilly, and Christian Slater, to what it was like wearing braids on the red carpet when no one else was doing it. “I struggled with my hair a lot growing up, as many Black girls do for obvious reasons. It’s not something we see a lot of—or at least when I was a kid, even more so—you don’t see it a lot in mainstream fashion. And so it’s been a real journey emotionally. Now you also see all kinds of people rocking braids. I think I’m in a place of self-love with my hair, which also feels so nice and liberating.” Earlier in the show, Chioma sits down with two Vogue contributors and collaborators on the cover shoot: Julia Sarr-Jamois and Tish Weinstock. They discuss how the cover came together, plus the wellness trends they’re obsessed with and what you should actually wear to a summer wedding.

After four years of non-stop touring, Gracie Abrams didn’t expect that new music would come to her so quickly, but she is coming back with the new album Daughter From Hell, out July 17, and is Vogue’s June cover star.  “You don't realize how your nervous system is kind of like running until you stop,” says Abrams as she discusses her latest album and cover shoot with Senior Features Editor Marley Marius and Global Director of Social Media Samantha Sussman on Vogue’s The Run Through Podcast. “So, I had no plans in this case to jump in as quickly as we ended up doing it. But my collaborator, producer, and dear friend Aaron Dessner, who I've worked with for six years now… he has superpowers,’ says Abrams. “And whenever we're in the same room, even if I do feel like silent to my core, whenever he starts playing something, it sparks my imagination.”  While working on the album at Electric Lady Studios in New York, Abrams says the first single ‘Hit the Wall’ came to her through intervention from a spirit. “I was a little bit late to the studio, which I'm very prompt and I was kind of having, just like an emotionally confused morning” says Abrams.  “Do you know when you sometimes wake up and you feel as if you're being haunted by a spirit? Or like a relative who's no longer [alive] … Do you ever feel the energy as if someone's got their hands on your shoulders? Do you ever feel like you're wearing a little cape on your shoulders?” asks Abrams. “I kind of just felt like weighed down when I was walking to the studio and I started tearing up. And it was at this period where I wasn't crying very much. And I was like, ‘Something's blocking me, like what is going on?’”  Abrams says once she heard a loop of what would later become Hit the Wall, all the pieces started coming together. “I very quickly felt like the sound exactly matched that hands-on-shoulders-cape feeling … And it was a nice place to put all of these, not like self-deprecating thoughts, but just all of the dark cloud energy into one place. And then when I was done with it, it made me feel like a teenager again, where I would write something and then … yield.”  Also on today’s episode, Chloe sits down with Marley and Samantha to discuss the news from over the weekend including the Tony wins and Dua Lipa’s Italian wedding. They also talk about the American Style shoot that is part of the summer issue and listen to voice memos from two enthusiastic finalists.  The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.
