With Sofia Richie’s effortless elegance, a resurgence of old-money opulence (unless you’re on the mob wife side of TikTok), and a dedication to embracing natural beauty through underpainting and barely-there makeup looks, Ryan Murphy’s Feud: Capote vs. The Swans served as the catalyst I didn’t know I needed to fully immerse myself in old-world glamour—with a modern twist, of course. Who’s to say splendor has no place in the day-to-day? We’ve curated a selection that we imagine Truman Capote’s iconic swans would embrace in 2024. And while the legendary La Cote Basque may be a thing of the past, rest assured, we’ve handpicked modern alternatives for our NY and LA society swans to dine.
