RELEVANT: YOUR SKIN SEEN

SEZANE

Natasha Lyonne stepped out for the Sezane pop-up party at the Brentwood Country Mart in Los Angeles wearing the Parisian label’s Colette Mariniere top ($100) paired with Brut Sexy bleached denim ($125) and Bianca sunglasses ($180).

Who doesn’t love to sip rosé during the summer (and year ‘round, really)? But this Provence-style Rosé produced at Gravity Wine House in Santa Rosa, California isn’t just a refreshing beverage — it also benefits animal rescue.

Available for $25 at rescuerose.com.

ASHES & DIAMONDS
