Introducing W’s Best Performances issue 2024 starring #MargotRobbie, #RyanGosling plus more of Hollywood’s biggest stars. At the link in our bio, watch as they all sit down with W’s editor-at-large Lynn Hirschberg to discuss everything from their first acting gigs and secret skills, to their go-to karaoke songs and on-set surprises (of course Gosling brought a seagull to the #Barbie Dream Boat). - Directed by Lynn Hirschberg W Mag Video: @_a_b_g @michael_beckert

Presenting the first cover star of our Best Performances issue: Margot Robbie. It’s hard to imagine anyone but Robbie bringing Barbie to life in Greta Gerwig’s billion-dollar-plus box office sensation, #Barbie. But initially, Robbie, who produced the film, didn’t plan on playing the world’s most famous doll. “I told Greta ‘Write the movie, but I don’t have to be Barbie. If you write it and it feels like there’s someone better for this role, then we’ll go after them.’” For W’s latest Best Performances portfolio, Robbie along with our 13 cover stars hit Hollywood Boulevard for a joyful shoot photographed by Juergen Teller. See them all at the link in bio and in the new issue on newsstands February 13. - Photography: #JuergenTeller Creative Partner: @doviledrizyte Editor in Chief and Stylist: @saramoonves Writer: #LynnHirschberg Visuals & Content Director: @_a_b_g Senior Style Editor: @aaalliata Senior Fashion Market Editor & Menswear Director: @wojojenna Creative Directors at Large: @kevintekinel @charleslevai Hair: @fa.rm.er Makeup: @PatiDubroff Manicure: @michellesaundersjames Set Design: @peterkleindesign Production: @ctdinc W VOLUME ONE 2024: THE BEST PERFORMANCES ISSUE

For years, Greta Lee has been stealing scenes in everything from ‘Girls’ and ‘High Maintenance’ to ‘Russian Doll’ and ‘The Morning Show.’ But her starring role in #PastLives, the semi-autobiographical romantic drama from first-time director Celine Song, presented her with a new challenge. “When I got the script for ‘Past Lives,’ the subject line said something like, ‘Korean—do you speak it?’” she says. “I thought, oh no. I could immediately hear my ancestors shouting at me about how bad my Korean is.” More from the Golden Globe nominee and our 13 Best Performances issue cover stars at the link in bio. - Photography: #JuergenTeller Creative Partner: @doviledrizyte Editor in Chief and Stylist: @saramoonves Writer: #LynnHirschberg Visuals & Content Director: @_a_b_g Senior Style Editor: @aaalliata Senior Fashion Market Editor & Menswear Director: @wojojenna Creative Directors at Large: @kevintekinel @charleslevai Hair: @mustafayanaz Makeup: @emikaneko Manicure: @michellesaundersjames Set Design: @peterkleindesign Production: @ctdinc W VOLUME ONE 2024: THE BEST PERFORMANCES ISSUE

One of the first things you might have noticed about Bella Baxter, #EmmaStone’s character in ‘Poor Things,’ is not her big blue eyes or sudden bodily convulsions but, rather, the billowing confections protruding from her shoulders. “It’s about the sleeve,” director Yorgos Lanthimos reportedly told the film’s Oscar-nominated costume designer Holly Waddington. And that’s exactly what he got: really, really big sleeves. But the costumes in #PoorThings are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the puffed-up and dramatic sleeves that have taken over the runways, red carpets, and now the streets. In our latest issue, writer @emiliapetrarca examines why major wingspans are having a moment. Link in bio.

Charles @Melton, you will always be famous. Seven years ago today, #Riverdale premiered, and like many former stars of the CW (see also Michelle Williams), Melton has since pivoted from teen soap fame to a buzzy film career. Here, watch as Melton discusses meeting his #MayDecember co-stars Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman and whether or not they ever watched him playing Reggie Mantle in the hit series.

On the final night of couture week, under the first full moon of the year, @maisonmargiela’s creative director @jgalliano staged the most talked-about show of the season. Those who were seated for the occasion—either in-person beneath Paris’s Pont Alexandre III or at home, glued to the livestream—were invited to imagine a fantastical walk through the city in a mise en scène inspired by Brassaï. Teetering down the runway, models channeled doll-like characters in cinched corsets, padded skirt suits, and abstract lace gowns—their faces given a glass finish courtesy of @PatMcGrathreal. In lieu of a typical couture bride, #GwendolineChristie closed the theatrical event wearing a latex crinoline dress with new hoof-heeled pumps made in collaboration with @louboutinworld that were also spotted on Kylie Jenner in the front row. Link in bio for all the details. Thoughts? - #MaisonMargiela

While the front row at Wednesday’s @maisonvalentino’s haute couture show was dominated by stars in all-black including #KylieJenner with her daughter Stormi and #JLo, the collection itself was a striking contrast of bold color. Dubbed ‘Le Salon,’ @pppiccioli's latest couture outing saw models gliding through the brand’s Place Vendôme atelier wearing a sea of vibrant gowns, suits, and separates for all genders. There were draped and slinky turquoise dresses, rose-red capes, topaz blazers, saffron shirts, mandarin trousers, and a frenzy of textures brought to life by the team of seamstresses and tailors all of whom joined Piccioli for the show’s finale. Swipe through for a look inside—more at the link in bio. - @gettyimages @maisonvalentino

#Zendaya is so back. The 'Dune' star attended the @fendi haute couture show today in Paris wearing an aubergine knit gown that perfectly complemented her sleek new hairstyle. Link in bio to see every celebrity look from couture week so far. - @shutterstock @gettyimages

It was all about the details at #SimoneRocha’s debut for #JeanPaulGaultier couture today in Paris. Drawing inspiration from Gaultier’s rich archives, Rocha recast his sacred house codes—mariner stripes, corsets, tattoo prints, and of course, the cone bra—through her subversive, hyper-feminine lens. The result was a coquettish collection infused with Rocha’s darkly alluring twists, from hair bow earrings—as in, jewelry made from synthetic hair—to thorned bustier tops and gothic bridal gowns. “I wanted it to be feminine, provocative, playful, sensual, embellished, adorned, restrained,” Rocha told W. “And it was. These words were the very first ones that came to my mind, and have very much been the process.” More at the link in bio. Thoughts? - @jeanpaulgaultier

Sure, @robertdowneyjr earned an #Oscar nomination for #Oppenheimer but let’s go ahead and give him all the awards for his dramatic rendition of #TaylorSwift’s “Blank Space.” For our Best Performances issue, the star sat down with W’s Lynn Hirschberg for a friendly round of lyrical improv.

Presenting your 2024 Oscar nominees! This year, #RyanGosling earned a nod for being just Ken, @LilyGladstone made history as the first Native American to ever be nominated for Best Actress, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph (@davinejoy) could very well sweep awards season after winning both the Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award for #TheHoldovers. Joining them are first-time nominees Colman Domingo (@kingofbingo), Jeffrey Wright (@jfreewright), and Sandra Hüller, as well as Hollywood veterans @RobertDowneyJr and Jodie Foster.
