The Ford GT40-Based Road Car That Could Have Been
Good racing films don’t happen very often, and rarely do they receive as much critical acclaim as 2019’s Ford v Ferrari. Propelled by the real-life drama behind Ford’s historic 1-2-3 sweep at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, the movie brings the adrenaline and danger of racing in the 1960s to life, carefully weaving that action into a character-driven origin story of the Blue Oval’s most iconic race car: the Ford GT40. Though the film gets a good majority of the facts straight, it presents the viewer with a condensed version of Ford’s road to victory at Le Mans. And even at a bladder-busting two and a half hours, there just wasn’t time to mention the GT40-based road car Ford was considering from the outset of the program. Wait, a GT40-based road car? That&#...
Marshmello and The Chainsmokers Land On Forbes’ 2020 “Highest Paid Celebrities” List
Forbes has revealed its annual list of the highest paid celebrities and a couple representatives from the dance music community have made the cut. The Chainsmokers took the 21st spot on the list just barely behind the Jonas Brothers, as the “Closer” producers earned themselves a windfall of $68 million. It turns out having the fourth most streamed song on Spotify of the last decade and a stake in JAJA Tequila has continued to pay healthy dividends for the duo. Impressively, the two placed ahead of fellow streaming giant Ed Sheeran, who broke U2‘s record for the highest grossing tour ever last year. Marshmello has found himself in similarly favorable straits, netting the 35th spot on the list. The masked hit-making machine pulled in $56 million, just barely eking out ...
53 Summer Outfits I Have Saved Recently
Since working from home, I’ve fallen into a rut of wearing the same pair of jeans and rotating between a handful of T-shirts and blouses. I’ve therefore accidentally made most of my treasured clothes redundant and have lacked any inspiration to think about new outfits when I’m barely leaving the house. But I’m determined to dive back into my wardrobe and find some joy in getting dressed again. To start this, I delved through my Saved images on Instagram. I spend more hours than I’d like to admit on this app a week and always save the outfits that I’d like to copy myself. So for those looking for some summer outfit inspiration (that feels realistic for what’s in store for summer in 2020), I’m sharing 53 outfits from my saved fo...
The 3 Trends This French It Girl Is Loving for Summer
With over half a million followers, an enviably glamourous Instagram feed and a successful womenswear brand to boot, it’s fair to say Anne Laure Mais knows a thing or two about style. The French native began her career as an influencer before launching her own label, Musier Paris, in 2018. With a wardrobe that comprises timeless staples, statement pieces and a few vintage elements for good measure, Mais epitomises everything we love about French-girl style and that je ne sais quoi. As an authority on all things fashion, we thought now would be a good time to talk to the designer about the trends she is loving for summer, as well as the wardrobe staples she can’t live without. As to be expected, Mais’s responses feature a mix of classic (vint...

This Is How the Coolest Minimalists Are Dressing Now
Over the last few seasons, it has become clear that simplicity is having another moment in the spotlight—in no small part thanks to the designs of brands such as The Row and Daniel Lee’s Bottega Veneta who are fronting this ‘minimalism 2.0’. Add to this the fact that, more than ever, shoppers are wanting to invest in pieces that last, both for budget reasons but also for ethical and sustainable implications, “Approaching each season, we look to our six muses; the fashion pioneer, the warrior, the free spirit, the curator, the romantic and the purist,” explains Natalie Kingham, buying director at MatchesFashion. “The Purist opts for minimalist style with a sleek, functional edge, and this ...
2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 Retro Review: Last of the Mezgers
In honor of Hans Mezger’s life, we’re republishing our June 2011 first drive of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0—the model that bid adieu to the famed Mezger engine in Porsche’s road-going cars. Porsche churns out so many run-out editions of the 911 that collectors must be feeling pretty gouged by now. There’s the 911 Carrera 4 GTS, the 911 Black Edition Cabriolet, the 911 Turbo S Edition 918 Spyder—the list goes on. Seems like every combination of spec and paint becomes a model in its own right. We are just waiting for a narrow-body rear-wheel-drive Turbo Targa Orange Stripe edition. Instead, along comes the real deal. Not just the last 997-series 911, but the ultimate RS, and the roadgoing swan song for the magnificent Mezger flat-six. The 911 GT3 RS 4.0 . . . now...
This Big Book Is All About Micro Machines
Millennial car nuts are right in their sweet spot for vehicle nostalgia, and for many of said nuts, Micro Machines were the toy of choice for a few years. The fast-talking pitchman made the tiny cars, trucks, and planes stand out from the larger Hot Wheels and Matchbox toys. As those have become collectible, spawning renewed interest (and, yes, even full-size, drivable recreations like you can see in our MotorTrend App show Hot Wheels Life Size), it was maybe inevitable that Micro Machines would get their second day in the sun. That time seems to be now. This big, glossy book from Bitmap is called “Micro But Many: An Unofficial Micro Machines Collection.” As you can tell from the title, it’s a work that’s not authorized by current owner Hasbro, nor is it related to ...

I Spent an Hour With VB’s Brow Expert—Here’s Everything I Learned
After the PR for Anastasia Beverly Hills gave me the heads-up earlier this year that Soare would be coming to the UK, I took the bold decision to stop shaping my eyebrows entirely. (As someone with seriously unruly brow hairs, this was a big step.) Luckily, though, this meant I was able to get some genuine brow advice when I did catch up with Anastasia. Plus, I asked Who What Wear readers for any burning brow questions in our Facebook group (So… Should I Buy This?), which Soare was only too happy to answer.

The Homeware I Buy From This High-Street Store Always Looks Expensive
From minimalist toothbrush holders (yes, I know) to linen table cloths that look like they’re £50 a pop (when they’re really less than a fiver) to minimal dressing gowns in pure linen as well as vintage-style vases that will enhance any bedroom or living room and even furniture that looks artisan, there are so many pieces you’ll want from the current collection. I decided to go through the latest drop and picked out the items I know you’ll want for the home. Keep scrolling to see what they are. I challenge you not to buy them.

I Just Asked 6 Makeup Artists How to Get Your Makeup to Stay Put in the Heat
When it comes to makeup, I’m a summer person. I like bronzed, glowing skin; plumped, glossy lips; big, feathered brows and pretty, shimmering eye looks. If you ask me, the glowing and glistening makeup looks of summer are far more enticing than the deeper, darker and more matte finishes that we tend to opt for during colder months. However, there is one issue that I have with summer makeup, and it’s quite a large one. It seems that no matter what I do, my makeup just won’t stay put. I could spend hours creating the perfect glowing base, and within 10 minutes of stepping outside into the heat, I’ve sweated it off. This year, however, because there are just too many new product launches and pretty inspiration pics that I want to try for myself, I’m determined to get...
