Pre-strike, Charlize Theron gave several interviews to promote her Dior contract. I don?t actually think it would have been in violation of strike promotional guidelines if she gave the interviews during the strike, but whatever, I just thought I?d mention that this InStyle piece was done months ago. Charlize has been the face of Diors Jadore perfume for nearly two decades, and now she?s the face of Dior?s latest fragrance, LOr de Jadore. Charlize chatted with InStyle about sense memory, how she applies perfume and the ?90s trend she hated the most. Some highlights:
The cloud mist? strategy for applying perfume: Her spritzing method allows her to enjoy all the facets of a scent without overwhelming her nose and ? most importantly ? her skin. I find direct [contact] on the skin becomes, for me, a little aggressive, and then I miss the subtle tones to it. Whereas when I do the cloud mist, I feel like I get more of the depth of field. I get a better sense of the other dimensions of the scent, especially since its constantly changing as your day goes by.
Sense memory from her childhood in South Africa. There was always something about rain hitting dust ? it creates this smell thats just so unique. I get very excited when I see rain because then I look for some dust, some dirt, and I try to recreate it. Ive never been able to. But that is a very nostalgic smell for me. When I go back and we have our rains in South Africa, its everywhere. You can smell it everywhere. Man, it just fills my soul. Im like, This is home.'
Fragrance mastermind Francis Kurkdjian created LOr: Hes infused classic Jadore notes of rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang with orange blossom, lily of the valley, and violet for a rich floral scent thats warm and rounded ? perfect for a sweet fall scent. Its beautiful, says Theron. The floral tones are just so layered.
She doesn?t incorporate scent into character-building: I sometimes go as far as just eliminating even scent in my soap. Because I am very sensitive to smell, any kind of smell can just really take me out of it. So its become more about elimination than about adding.
Her beauty regret: Hands down, the thin eyebrows in the 90s. Im still recovering from that.

Unpopular opinion, but I think the bushy-eyebrow trend will come back to haunt people years from now, moreso than the thin eyebrows from the ?90s. While overplucking never looks good, neither does the big, dark, caterpillar-brow trend. As for applying perfume? I find it depends on the perfume. If I?m wearing something cheap (like a body spray) or I just want a light scent, I do the cloud mist thing too, and I walk into the perfume cloud. If I actually want to smell the perfume on my skin, I spray it directly on my throat and wrists.

Here are more photos from last night?s Albie Awards at the New York Public Library. The Clooney Foundation for Justice rents out the library to stage their awards, and George Clooney is so well-connected that he gets so many of his celebrity friends to come out for a good cause. Personally, I get too focused on ?I wonder how much it costs to rent out the NY Public Library and stage this event,? but I guess that?s not the point. The Clooneys have deep pockets and their friends have deep pockets. Anyhoodle, I just wanted to talk about fashion Donatella Versace attended the event and many women wore Versace, including Anne Hathaway. Anne?s harlequin-print dress was fresh off the latest Versace collection. Shall I say it? It?s not a good dress, although Anne does elevate a bad look.
The Blunt-Krasinskis arrived with the Barroso-Damons! Both ladies wore red. They?re all tight with George.
Julianna Margulies in what I?m pretty sure is Prada. The dress is really great, I just think it?s wrong on Julianna wrong color, wrong vibe, wrong hair.
Greta Gerwig?s look was one of my favorite dresses of the night.
Daniel Craig & Rachel Weisz! Daniel wore his glasses!
Sofia Vergara said PANTS.
I?m sorry but Scarlett Johansson looks awful here! The shiny suit combined with that really harsh hairstyle. Yikes.

From my very unofficial survey of Swifties, it seems like there is not a consensus about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce?s portmanteau. Are they Traylor? Tayvis? TayTray? Swelce? You guys need to figure it out y?all insisted on Hiddleswift when, honestly, CB came up with ?Tiddles? and we held the Tiddles line here on this blog. I?m personally leaning more towards Traylor, but I?m sure the Snake Fam is clever enough to come up with something better than ?Taylor and that football guy.? Anyway, TMZ has been running all kinds of Traylor exclusives this week, including a photo taken inside of the Kansas City restaurant they went to following last Sunday?s game:

Former Dancing With the Stars pro Cheryl Burke has had a turbulent past couple years. Early in 2022 she filed for divorce from Matthew Lawrence after three years of marriage, and hinted it was due to cheating on his part. A year later Matthew got together with Chilli Thomas and publicly declared that his life was ?in complete bloom.? Most harrowing of all was the court custody case over their baby, French bulldog Ysabella (Cheryl won in the end). Amid her divorce drama, Cheryl also left her professional home of DWTS in 2022 after 26 seasons, but she is now returning in a new capacity (I guess they?ve shaken off her calling them out for strike breaking). No stranger to podcasts ? she hosted Pretty Messed Up for two years ? Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans will see Cheryl interviewing past celebrity DWTS contestants for a glimpse behind the mirror ball. While hyping the show to Yahoo?s The Unwind series, Cheryl reflected on difficult transitions in life and dance:
She was scared to say yes to DWTS: ?I remember being asked to do Dancing With the Stars,? she says. ?I was also living in Harlem at the time with my dance partner/boyfriend, and I was very comfortable there. I was scared to say yes to the show. And it took a long time for me to actually say, ?OK, I?m going to try this.? There?s a difference of feeling like, ?No, I shouldn?t do this,? like following your intuition and [knowing] ?this is not a good idea? versus ?I?m scared to do it, but I know I should.??
Bodily intuition: ?For me, I know there?s always something that I feel in my body,? she explains. ?Specifically, when [something] is not a good choice or something fishy is happening, it feels like my heart just dropped down to my stomach, like I?m on a roller coaster ride. I can choose to listen to it or not. Every time I didn?t listen to it, my life became stagnant, my whole energy became stagnant.?
No change without awareness: ?You?ve got to step back from your own thoughts for a second and just observe.? And sometimes, when you do that, you may realize it?s time to create significant change ? in your relationship with yourself and with others. ?You are who you hang out with, you are who you?re raised by, you are your environment ? unless you consciously change it,? points out Burke. ?It?s like breaking a bad habit. There?s no mental health improvement without awareness.?
Her therapies have a mind-body balance: As she?s forged ahead into a whole new chapter of her life this year, Burke has prioritized her mental health by working with both a talk therapist and somatic therapist, who focuses on how emotions are felt in the body. She?s also tapping into the power of other mind-body practices, including transcendental meditation, which she says she has aimed to do twice daily since separating from Lawrence.
A pandemic in itself: ?Suffering [when it comes to] mental health is a pandemic in itself. No one wants to talk about it. In order to normalize it, we have to talk about it? I?m going to do this work forever. It?s never gonna stop, that?s the thing. I will always be healing, I will always be working on me. And at the end of the day, it?s because I?m stuck with me. You?re stuck with [yourself] for the rest of your life, and you better like yourself.?
[From Yahoo! Life]
?You?re stuck with [yourself] for the rest of your life, and you better like yourself.? Oof, that?s a biggie. When I was in my early twenties I found myself saying to a teacher that I thought it was in bad taste to like myself. He very kindly suggested that I might want to take a look at that. We humans are funny creatures. Most of us spend a great portion of our lives figuring out just how to be? ourselves. You?d think that would be the one area where you had an advantage, given that you?re the only you out there. But no. We struggle to unpack the influences, circumstances, and Beyonce albums that have affected us the most, and next sift through what?s helping us versus what we can shed. Then to compound things, we?ve upheld a centuries-old tradition of assigning shame to honest conversations about mental health and self esteem. Outside of a Pixar movie, no other animal on this planet tortures themselves this way. I?m with Cheryl, we have to talk about it. And I love how she?s gone full hippie with somatic therapy and transcendental meditation. On that note, I?ll leave you with the first line (spoken, not sung) of the stage show HAIR: ?Transcendental meditation on the ocean of reality is love.?
