Three images were chosen to cover THR’s fourth annual Red Carpet Designers issue, featuring Hollywood’s top fashion designers alongside their A-list muses. They are: Zoe Kravitz with Oscar de la Renta’s Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim; Evan Rachel Wood with Joseph Altuzarra; and Jennifer Meyer, the first jewelry designer to make the list, with Jennifer Aniston, her close friend of more than a decade. “Since launching in 2005, Meyer has steadily grown her brand each year to become a shimmering fixture at major awards shows,” says THR fashion and beauty director Carol McColgin, who curated this year’s list of Top 20 Red Carpet Designers (page 84) with style and fashion news director Booth Moore. “Despite all the turmoil in the fashion industry — store closings, management changes and masthead shake-ups…

TRUMP’S TV STIMULUS PLAN: JOB SECURITY FOR LATE-NIGHT HOSTS Deal of the Week As the Trump administration continues to provide unprecedented fodder for late-night TV, networks are locking in hosts to long-term deals. Comedy Central became the latest to do so, handing out a massive five-year contract extension Sept. 14 to keep Trevor Noah hosting The Daily Show through 2022, well beyond the next presidential election. The half-decade pact is as much an insurance policy as it is a vote of confidence for Noah from the Viacom-owned network, which was famously caught host-less a few years ago when its stable of talent (Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Samantha Bee and John Oliver) used the conclusion of contracts — or, in Oliver’s case, the absence of one — to jump ship. Noah’s…

THR’S BEST DRESSED Nicole Kidman The Big Little Lies winner wore a Calvin Klein by Appointment red silk pleated dress accessorized with more than $2 million worth of Harry Winston sparklers — and, she said, an Emmy statuette for each of her young daughters, Sunday and Faith. THE DRESSES THE DRESSES On the Carpet and Inside the Parties … EMMY EDITION! RAMBLING REPORTER Spicey: Not Going Hollywood In an evening packed with the likes of Robert De Niro, Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon, who would have thought that Sean Spicer would be the star that popped? Following his appearance during host Stephen Colbert’s opener, the Trump casualty got a kiss on the cheek from James Corden, posed for pics with Dolly Parton and Alec Baldwin, and partied at the Governors…

THE ECCO RESTAURANT Atlantis by Giardino Hotel Doltschiweg 234 “Simply the best restaurant in Zurich. The Ecco got two Michelin stars right out of the starting gate, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it picks up another one soon. Make sure your publicist picks up the check.” THE METZ GRILL Langstrasse 31 “This place is the ultimate countermovement to the hip vegan places sprouting up everywhere around the world. Their motto is: ‘We love animals so we treat them with care.’ Try the Fleischkase sandwich for about $10. The meat is simply fantastic; you can taste the love.” OBERE FLUHGASSE Fluhgasse 69 “True Swiss cuisine, and rough Zurich charm, nicely tucked away from touristy areas. Schnitzelte — minced veal with heavy cream and rosti (the original hash brown) — is…

As it preps to open its 50th season Sept. 24, 60 Minutes is hoping that enlisting Oprah Winfrey as a contributor will help the newsmagazine continue to stand out in a crowded Sunday night television landscape. “She wants to do stories with an impact,” says executive producer Jeff Fager. “And that’s what’s going to work here.” Winfrey’s first segment will examine the deep political divisions in the country in part through a panel made up of ideologically opposed Americans. It is similar to a feature Winfrey did in O Magazine in February, for which she brought together 10 women at a diner in Maspeth, New York — half of them Donald Trump supporters, half Hillary Clinton supporters. But Winfrey, 63, is no bystander in the political arena. Unlike the full-time…

Hollywood’s off-duty uniform of the early aughts is poised for an upgrade and comeback with a top stylist as its new creative director. Jamie Mizrahi, whose clients include Katy Perry and Kate Upton, debuted her collection at a Sept. 13 NYFW bash attended by the original poster girl, Paris Hilton, who wore a custom, Swarovksi-studded yellow tracksuit (with a Juicy-clad Chihuahua in tow). Also shown: 1960s country club eyelet cocktail dresses, velour leggings with “Juicy”-branded waistbands and, yes, tracksuits (from $98). On Instagram before the MTV VMAs, Black-ish star Yara Shahidi wore a version customized with the phrase, “What Would Maxine Waters Do?” Says Mizrahi: “The clothes are made to be worn night or day, on the plane or out to lunch with girlfriends. Even to work.” For more Hollywood…

Two days before New York City’s Met Gala in May, a jewelry publicist confirmed placements on several A-listers. Then her phone started ringing. “Agents told me that their clients were being offered payment to wear another house’s jewels, and they wanted to know if I could match it,” she recalls. “Until that moment, I didn’t even know I was in a bidding war.” With no budget, she lost most of her stars to other jewelers. For one jewelry client, “we’ve shifted about 5 percent in the marketing budget for red carpet placements,” she says. “That will change again in 2018. We are adjusting to what the landscape has become.” Under-the-radar contracts and one-time payments are becoming increasingly commonplace when it comes to stars wearing gems on the carpet. “It is…

SPECIAL FEATURE 10/4 On October 4th, The Hollywood Reporter will pay tribute to the American Film Institute on its 50th anniversary with an expanded special issue. In 1967, the American Film Institute was created in the White House Rose Garden to establish and preserve the art of film in America. The AFI preserves the heritage of motion picture as it honors the artists and their work as well as to educate the next generation of storytellers. Over decades the AFI has evolved to be the home of the world class AFI Conservatory where notable industry alumni teach. The AFI hosts many programs and events that celebrate film and television, including the revered and prestigious AFI Life Achievement Award, AFI Docs program, the hugely successful AFI Film Fest and the AFI…

Hulu Streamers don’t need a $6 billion budget to break through, after all. The Handmaid’s Tale was crowned series of the year, and Elisabeth Moss scored her first Emmy after six Mad Men snubs. A remarkable feat. Hulu CEO Mike Hopkins and actress-producer Moss HBO Despite Stephen Colbert’s cracks against Bill Maher and Confederate, HBO still is TV’s uncontested Emmy force — boasting more wins (29) than any outlet thanks to John Oliver, Veep and Big Little Lies. HBO CEO Richard Plepler and Lies’ Nicole Kidman Saturday Night Live More relevant than ever, Lorne Michaels’ SNL took its first top variety prize since 1993. Alec Baldwin, Kate McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy and Dave Chappelle also swept supporting categories. SNL creator Michaels Donald Glover He secured his status as FX’s golden boy…

People, Places, Preoccupations Reality is how you perceive it. You can change that perception of reality — dictate it.” Most journalism barons don’t deal in metaphysics. For digital upstart Sean Adl-Tabatabai, 36, who talks of “the holographic nature of the world,” and his husband and business partner, Sinclair Treadway, 24, it could be a credo. Your News Wire, their 3-yearold website of murky fact and slippery spin, has in the past year helped usher Donna Brazile out of her CNN gig and foment the Pizzagate frenzy with a key early post (which has generated 28,000 Facebook shares), all from an unlikely HQ for an altmedia operation: the couple’s live/work apartment at the historic El Royale (sometime home to the likes of Katie Holmes, Josh Brolin and Cameron Diaz) in L.A.’s…

“There are not two sides to every story.” AMBER TAMBLYN The actress, in a New York Times op-ed, writing that when she was a young star on Joan of Arcadia, a producer dismissed her harassment complaint against a male crewmember by saying, “There are two sides to every story.” “This is something a lot of folks in Hollywood lack, which is introspection and good humor.” KELLYANNE CONWAY The counselor to President Trump, talking to Fox News about former Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s Emmy Awards cameo. “When do people have time to? I’m a reader. I always read a book instead of turning on my TV.” SHAILENE WOODLEY The Big Little Lies star, talking to E! News at the Emmys about how she doesn’t watch the medium for which she was…

H arry Dean changed the dynamics of any room I ever saw him in. He came on at the end of the second season of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, as I did, and created quite a stir. I first saw him rehearsing on the far side of the room, and everyone just kind of stopped and started looking in his direction. It’s like when Ted Williams used to take batting practice at spring training, 10 years after he retired. He was an old man of 50 or 60, and every player would put down their bats and balls and watch him take batting practice. There was something of that with Harry Dean, especially in his later years. Everybody, for some reason, wanted Harry Dean’s approval — whether it was professional…

In March 1934, Leon Lewis, a 44-year-old lawyer and former executive director of the Anti-Defamation League, invited 40 of Hollywood’s most powerful studio heads, producers and directors — men like Louis B. Mayer, Irving Thalberg and Jack Warner — to a secret meeting at Hillcrest, the elite Jewish country club in Cheviot Hills. For nearly a year, Lewis had used a network of spies (including the son of a Bavarian general) to keep tabs on Nazis and American-born fascists in Los Angeles. Some in the group knew a bit about what Lewis had been up to, but few knew the full extent of his work. As the group settled into the Club Room after dinner, Lewis rose to share what he had learned: Anti-Semites had invaded their studios. Foremen sympathetic…

In a milestone sure to make baby boomers feel old, thirtysomething has turned 30. Yes, Michael, Hope and the gang now qualify for Social Security. The Emmy-winning show, which ran for four seasons, was part of ABC’s effort to reach that demo, and the network promoted it with an ad that said, “Real life is an acquired taste.” When thirtysomething first aired Sept. 29, 1987, The Hollywood Reporter’s review was a bit harsh. It sounded like a grizzled World War II veteran describing the younger generation as self-indulgent, whining yuppies. (“You have to care for someone other than yourself, boys and girls. Gosh, oh gee, life is tough.”) The series’ creators became inured to criticism. “The show was a lightning rod for people’s emotions,” says co-creator Marshall Herskovitz. “Introspective people…
