#NicoleKidman confirms that she and #ReeseWitherspoon have been texting about the third season of #BigLittleLies , both feeling the timing is right to revisit their characters. “There’s the richness of the storylines, which we’d always discussed, but it needed time because there’s actual unbelievable depth to the next chapter of these women’s lives and their children’s lives—because children grow up, and that’s kind of fascinating,” Kidman says. She also says that there’s even a timeline in place for making it happen with the rest of the cast—which she cheekily declines to share. More from our April issue at the link in bio.

Whether #NicoleKidman’s confronting the toughest emotions onscreen, raising millions to support women’s causes, or putting on a pinstriped suit to help save the movies, the #Expats star brings people together. In 2017, she made a very public pledge at a press conference during the Cannes Film Festival that she would work with a female director every 18 months. It came partially from a crisis plaguing Hollywood—she cited the statistic that only 4.2 percent of the top films in 2016 had been directed by women—but also from a very personal place. “There’s a lot of talk, but I need to do; I’m a doer. I also just love women,” Kidman says. “I’m surrounded by great women and I understand all the aspects of different women, because we have so many women in our family. I feel very, very safe and very at home.” She’s made good on that promise, not merely working with female directors and creators, but also championing them and throwing her star power behind their work. For ELLE’s Impact Issue, Kidman discusses working with writer and director @thumbelulu to bring the new miniseries to life and being an active part of her Tennessee community.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, or haven’t been to the movies in the last few years, that quote, “heartbreak feels good in a place like this,” is from a spot #NicoleKidman filmed for AMC Theatres at the height of the pandemic. It’s a simple 60-second ad, and yet, from the moment of its release in September 2021, it became the stuff of legend. People stand and salute when it plays in theaters. The internet overflows with homemade “Nicole Kidman for AMC” merch. Sotheby’s recently auctioned off the pinstriped Michael Kors Collection suit worn in the campaign for $9,525. While not every actor enjoys becoming a meme, Kidman has loved every second of it, including the growing trend of drag queens spoofing the AMC ad in their performances. “My dream will be to be onstage doing it with a drag queen,” she says. “I’ve got to be able to do that at some point.” At the link in bio, learn why the cover star of our Impact Issue felt it was her duty to help get people back into movie theaters and why she’s committed to working with female directors.

Another day, another early ’00s comeback (yes, we’re talking about capris). A notable trend on the spring 2024 runways and among the street style and influencer set—including none other than Bella Hadid—this calf-baring pant is bound to take over as temperatures warm up. If you want to get in on the trend, shop our favorite picks on the market at the link in bio.

“French in London, English in Paris” is how Lily McMenamy sums up her identity. “Yet born in Pennsylvania with a Tunisian father!” She was also born into fashion, so to speak. Legend has it that as a baby, McMenamy “walked” the runway in the arms of her mother, supermodel Kristen. Here, she and her model siblings Eddy and Arthur Aldridge team rocker-chic staples with equally timeless @Cartier Trinity jewelry.

This just in: @alessandro_michele has been named the new creative director of @maisonvalentino . During his reign at Gucci, “on the red carpet, his unconventional designs shone amid a sea of safe, stylist-enabled choices,” writes @niquepeeks . “His front rows were a red carpet all their own.” Share your thoughts on the appointment below.

Last week, Arizona state Sen. Eva Burch did the unthinkable: She announced her decision to get an abortion on the floor of the Arizona Senate. In her speech, which quickly went viral, Burch talked about the importance of access to abortion care in America and why she, as a politician, felt compelled to share her story in such a public manner. Now, in an exclusive essay for ELLE, Burch writes about that emotional moment on the Senate floor—and why she wants to “change the narrative about what abortion care looks like.” Link in bio for the full essay.

After writer and performer @shainataub got the life-changing news that @suffsmusical , her anticipated musical about the fight for women’s suffrage, was officially headed to Broadway this spring, she set out to find co-producers who could help bring this often-untold chapter of American history to life. “There really wasn’t a conversation,” Taub says. She wrote letters to @hillaryclinton and @malala , two longtime women’s rights advocates who became enamored with “Suffs” after seeing the show during its sold-out run at the Public Theater. Clinton tells ELLE: “She said that, when I was running for president, she felt compelled to write something that would make women’s history come alive and help audiences realize that women had changed the world in the past, often in very difficult circumstances, and that we can do it again.” Hear more from ELLE’s 2024 Women of Impact at the link in bio.

ELLE’s 2024 Women of Impact prove there’s no one way to make a difference—you can start right where you are. #AbbottElementary creator @quintab has become an industry powerhouse and is eager to spread her influence even further. “You learn a lot by having a show that’s a success: what it takes to maintain it, and what kind of creator you actually are, and what kind of boss or manager or showrunner you want to be,” Brunson says. @senduckworth wants to bring attention to the fact that people with disabilities are still being left out. Even U.S. senators. “We’ve made a lot of headway. But I don’t think people understand that there’s still a long way to go,” Duckworth says. Model and activist @cameronrussell ’s memoir is a confrontational critique of the business that made her a star, but it doesn’t exonerate its writer either. “Yes, most of us are complicit,” Russell acknowledges. CNN’s @abbydphillip is showing there’s more than one way to be a journalist: “You can look at the people who are at the top of their game and come away thinking, ‘If I don’t do it like them, then it’s not the right way to do it.’ But the truth is that every person has a different strength that they bring to the table.” See the full list of ELLE’s 2024 Women of Impact honorees via the link in bio.

ELLE’s 2024 Women of Impact honorees are freedom fighters and rule breakers. These activists, leaders, and visionaries are pushing their fields to new heights, charting their own paths, shaping trends, and saying, “You thought that was my pinnacle? Think again, I’m only getting started.” After stealing the show at President Biden’s 2021 inauguration, @amandascgorman is forging an identity beyond her splashy debut and using her words to create social change. “I am more than my most famous moment. I am all the moments, the light and the dark,” Gorman says. @jennyhan ’s stories make space for herself and others. “Just 10 years ago, people didn’t understand that it was important for a main character to be played by an Asian person,” Han says. Congresswoman @repescobar is working to “get the undocumented out of the shadows.” “We have to demonstrate leadership in this very difficult moment. And we have to do that while hanging onto our values,” she says. @rosario.hevia is working to make the fashion business more sustainable. “If you would tell me, ‘Work on this other thing and you’ll earn double what you make now, but it’s less meaningful,’ I’ll say ‘No, thank you,’” Hevia says.
