[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, all quotes and commentary from Donna Douglas are from an interview with her conducted by the author.]. Donna Douglas, who died of pancreative cancer at 82 in 2015, was an honest-to-goodness Southern Belle who displayed a natural beauty and talent in her portrayal of the hollering, rope-wearing, whistle-happy, and critter-cuddling Elly May Clampett on the 1960s classic TV hit, The Beverly Hillbillies.

Jasmine Contomichalos and Paul Masmejean met in January 2022 on a blind date. Their mutual friend Emma set them up because—despite being New Yorkers—they were “both European,” Jasmine recalls, laughing. (Jasmine’s mom and dad are British and Greek respectively, while Paul’s parents are French.) But despite the broad commonality, Emma was spot-on: “We hit it off instantly and even discovered we attended the same pre-school in London,” says Jasmine. A year and a half later, Paul proposed to Jasmine on the Caribbean island of Canouan.

Finding a hair oil that delivers heavyweight anti-aging benefits, but is lightweight enough to keep gray hair looking vibrant, bouncy, and decidedly ungreasy. Ahead, hair stylists, dermatologists, and a trichologist share how to incorporate the best oils for gray hair into a weekly regime, plus the oils they most recommend for bringing a gleam back to silvery styles.

On a summer Friday in East Hampton, Aerin Lauder, Emilia Wickstead, and Over The Moon founder Alexandra Macon hosted a bridal and registry-themed shopping event and dinner at Lauder’s home. After near-endless rain from Tropical Storm Debby, the skies parted for an idyllic day of trying on Emilia Wickstead’s ready-to-wear bridal and Pre-Fall 2024 collections, as well as shopping and adding Aerin pieces to Over The Moon registries. Guests sipped on various spritzes and Wölffer “Summer in A Bottle” rosé and nibbled on flower-pressed cookies from Acquolina Catering, while touring the house—which was once owned by Aerin’s grandmother Estée and features a living room whose décor is relatively unchanged since then—shopping, and talking about all things weddings.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.
