Jennifer Garner covers Allure’s May 2023 digital issue
Jennifer Garner is loving her solo life. The actress sat down with Allure and filled writer Danielle Pergament in on what her days look like as a mom-of-three, how she navigated the paparazzi’s obsession with her over the last two decades, and what she’d be doing if she wasn’t in Hollywood. Spoiler alert: the West Virginia-native thinks she’d be a minister. The profile is full of lots of interesting insight into Tinsel Town’s nicest ‘normie’ but Garner has an edge too. “We have to be mentally disciplined if we’re going to survive,” she says. “You have to be tough on yourself. You have to do the things. You have to work out because that keeps you mentally steady. You have to work through your shit. I have made my own way. I’ve made my own money. I knew not a soul and I did it.” Read the full piece, with styling by Yashua Simmons, here.

Victoria’s Secret reveals plans for The Victoria’s Secret World Tour
Gone are the day of bedazzled bras and colossal angel wings on the runway. Instead, Victoria’s Secret has announced its new focus, which fills the gap for a branded entertainment-meets-fashion spectacle that’s been vacant since the lingerie giant canceled its fashion show in 2019. The new endeavor, The Victoria’s Secret World Tour, is a behind-the-scenes feature film that follows 20 creatives (VS20) around the world. Said talents will spearhead four fashion curations from the cities of Bogota, Lagos, London, and Tokyo by conceptualizing, producing, and staging a collection they created, which they’ll then present alongside custom Victoria’s Secret designs in a filmed fashion show.
The global creatives featured within the VS20 include:
BOGOTA: Fashion designer Melissa Valdes. Filmmaker Cristina Sánchez Salamanca. Painter Lorena Torres. Dancer and choreographer Piscis. Musician Goyo.
LAGOS: Fashion Designer Bubu Ogisi. Filmmaker Korty. Artists Eloghosa Osunde, Ashley Okoli, and Wavy The Creator.
LONDON: Creative director and designer Supriya Lele. Filmmaker Margot Bowman. Artist and writer Ebun Sodipo. Lingerie designer Michaela Stark. Artist Phoebe Collings.
TOKYO: Fashion designer Jenny Fax. Filmmaker Umi Ishihara. Painter Kaito Itsuki. Body artist Aoi Yamada. Artist Kom-I.
Raúl Martinez, EVP and head creative director at Victoria’s Secret & Co, called it the “ultimate expression” of the Victoria’s Secret rebrand: “It will be driven by fashion, glamour, and entertainment with a nod to beloved iconography from the past but in a bold, redefined way. We are so honored to offer our platform and have it explored through the lens and artistry of global creatives who celebrate the individuality of women’s stories and perspectives.”
The documentary-length film is set to air in September—and the company said to expect something as show-stopping as the original runway format. Indeed, according to this Vogue piece, there might even be wings.

The likes of Elsa Hosk, Sara Sampaio, Lais Ribeiro, Emily DiDonato, Kelsey Merritt, Shanina Shaik, Romee Strijd, and her longtime bestie and business partner Jasmine Tokes all rushed to congratulate her and DeLeon.
