Lying about her name, age, and self-proclaimed fame, the 1920s ever aspiring film actress Maria Lani once convinced the most acclaimed artists of her time—including Henri Matisse, Chaïm Soutine, Pierre Bonnard, and Marc Chagall—to paint her portrait for a movie she and her husband planned to make. But the movie was never made; her patron, Jean Cocteau, dropped her; and she got a divorce. However, author Jonathan Lackman argues that Lani never intended to defraud the artists in the first place. With his new book, The Woman with Fifty Faces, he and Zachary J. Pinson have concocted a riveting graphic biography with a few novelistic flourishes that make Lani a far more sympathetic yet mysterious figure. She died of a cerebral tumor in a Paris hospital in 1954, long forgotten, and was buried in a pauper’s grave, but the artwork survives, scattered among collectors and museums. This captivating work reclaims Lani (her real last name was Jeleniewicz) from the dustbin of art history. ($29.99, amazon.com) —Jim Kelly

Need another excuse to book a flight to LAX? Boucheron has opened its first boutique in Los Angeles, on Rodeo Drive. Inspired by classic Hollywood, the store’s Art Deco–inspired façade is the first step into this rarefied universe. Instead of a premiere-style red carpet, a similar version has been reimagined in the French jewelry house’s signature shade of green. The interior design is intended to be warm and welcoming, filled with round tables, de Gournay embroideries, and Atelier d’Offard bas-reliefs, which cover the walls with ferns, ivy, and other Californian flora and fauna. A stylish V.I.P. room, where a fabric-covered ceiling conjures a starry night sky, is intended to remind clients of Oscar after-parties, which will feel very familiar. Boucheron’s sumptuous jewels, however, are anything but ordinary—and there’s no better place to experience them. (boucheron.com) —Ashley Baker

In a city now overrun with members’ clubs—for the uptown set, the downtown set, the Euro set, the creative set, and the vaguely jet set—a quiet force discreetly unites their male members: master barber Katy Walsh. Trained at Vidal Sassoon and Martial Vivot, and forged in the fires of Fashion Weeks and TV greenrooms, Walsh gives you the kind of do that looks like you don’t. Her studio, Wolf & Blade, perched above Rockefeller Center, allows for only one client at a time and is the go-to for men whose hair says, “I’m not around much in the summer, but let’s catch up in the fall!” It’s one-on-one, by design—just you, Walsh, and the possibility of finally looking like you’re not the kind of person who has to swipe anything to enter a building.

For oenophiles looking to go dry, Australia’s Non has developed its own proprietary approach, with 0-percent-alcohol recipes conceived from scratch to express certain wine-esque profiles. Its flavor is “built from the ground up” with key notes of floral, tannin, salinity, and acidity. Naturally produced, it’s roasted, stewed, steeped, and cured in-house. Verjus—the unfermented juice of young, unripened grapes—acts as the beverage’s base. Filtered and bottled in a smart-looking package, these unique drinks have become a sommelier favorite for non-alcoholic pairings. Non1 with salted raspberry and chamomile—Gold Medal winner at the World Alcohol-Free Awards 2025 in the U.K.—is a particularly moreish sparkling-wine alternative. ($30, us.non.world) —Spike Carter
