As 'The Gilded Age Returns' for its Third Season, Denée Benton is Coming into Her Own

1 week ago | smagazineofficial.com | Sumiko Wilson

It always begins with the voice. Working on the third season of HBO’s The Gilded Age, things began to click for Denée Benton when she revisited her character’s distinct 19th-century New York lilt. “We have an incredible dialect coach, Howard Samuelsohn,” she explains. When Benton, who plays secretary-turned-reporter Peggy Scott, dials into our early morning Zoom, her cool-girl baby bangs are a far cry from her character’s 1880s updos.

The 2025 Bridal Trends You Need To Know

Feb 25, 2025 | ellecanada.com | Sumiko Wilson

Weddings are microcosms. No journey down the aisle exists in a vacuum, not even for the most unconventional bride. When Kamala Harris, mimicking her mother, said, “You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you,” she could very well have been referring to bridal fashion. Trends appear, explode and dissipate. But there always comes a point when they re-emerge, either presented in a reimagined form or simply viewed in a new light.
Alessia Cara Is Still Here

Feb 20, 2025 | ellecanada.com | Sumiko Wilson

In order to find her new sound, Alessia Cara needed to be silent. After releasing In the Meantime in 2021—her third album in five years— the Grammy winner found herself grappling with a bout of writer’s block. Having first picked up a guitar at 10 years old and debuted a single at 18, the 28-year-old Canadian songstress wasn’t unfamiliar with the affliction. But this time, she approached things differently. “I had to just wait it out,” she says over Zoom.

The Power of Rebecca Ferguson

Oct 29, 2024 | ellecanada.com | Sumiko Wilson

There’s one question that Rebecca Ferguson hates being asked. In interview after interview, she’s tasked with explaining her penchant for playing “strong women.” “I always find it to be a bit of lazy journalism when people call it ‘strong,’” says the Swedish actor.

Jul 11, 2024 | smagazineofficial.com | Sumiko Wilson

Six years ago, Mélanie Masarin got tired of sparkling water. Having just left her role at Glossier, where she led offline and experiential strategy, she was visiting Milan for design week, she was also newly sober with very limited beverage options. “I complained quite a bit, apparently,” Masarin admits over Zoom. Finally, a friend suggested she create her own drink. “I didn’t even understand what he meant at first, but it was in the back of my mind for the rest of the trip,” she recalls.

Jul 9, 2024 | smagazineofficial.com | Sumiko Wilson

For Briana King, every day begins with a scream. “It’s like a lion waking up in the morning,” she says with a grin. “I just happen to be loud. It’s a release.” The uninhibited practice has ripple effects throughout her day. As a former introvert, skateboarding pushed the Los Angeles native outside of her comfort zone and propelled her to a deeper sense of purpose.
Bjarke Ingels Reaches New Heights: Danish Architect Talks Philosophy & Projects

May 31, 2024 | sharpmagazine.com | Sumiko Wilson

Bjarke Ingels is comfortable with contradictions. Throughout the course of our video call, the superstar Danish architect and founder of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) often opts for oxymorons to etch out his philosophies. Expounding on these terms (such as “hedonistic sustainability” and “pragmatic utopia”) is how he distills his big ideas on environmentalism, place-making, and the future. It’s also how he contextualizes his work in a world where his designs surpass the norm.
