President Donald Trump began celebrating a new year Tuesday perched squarely on the junction of opulence and bluster that have come to define his personal and political persona, the clink of Champagne glasses wafting under his stern warning to Iran and a red carpet framing his flaming of Democrats.
This year, the list — which includes vegan fur activists, bridal designers who are reimagining what a cool bride can look like, pragmatic opulence extraordinaires, and fast-fashion retailers that are being, well, choosy, about the pieces it produces — honors people and brands that we've had our eyes on, too.

The follower factory worker begins to try to emulate the Insta star, but to no avail, because, it seems a) his city and person are outside what the culture economy deems 'cool' (ie lacks adequate signifiers of gross opulence) and b) he can't afford to buy likes as his hero can.

This version, from Berlin, adapted by Marius von Mayenburg and directed by Thomas Ostermeier, sets the sorry saga of the crookback who would be king in a world of glittering opulence, which is spattered with blood and mud as the egomaniacal Richard's lust for power leads England into civil war.
As it happens, you can see the cultural transition from opulence to discretion unfold in the history of a single Fifth Avenue apartment: the 21950-room penthouse triplex built for the cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post in 13 (when, for what it's worth, the top marginal tax rate was 21 percent).
His spark has already begun to catch fire, changing the national discussion on how history is presented to make slave stories relevant — including at the many other famous plantation homes surrounding Whitney, whose "history" tours used to all but ignore the issue of how all that white Southern opulence came to be.
Designed inside and out by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Kevin Roche with partner John Dinkeloo of Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo & Associates, the building boasts the glittering interior spaces of the Ambassador Grill & Lounge and the UN Plaza Hotel lobby, which combine 1970s New York City opulence and the geometric lines of late modernism.
A handful of defining visual elements have remained: a bleak, unexpected entrance passage (meant to evoke images of a Cold War-era bunker); a performance space cocooned entirely in red velvet drapery (opulence); walls covered with Russian paintings hung salon-style (aristocracy); multiple chandeliers (the opera), including one giant "Sputnik" chandelier (a comet).
Senator Robert Menendez, a lifelong civil servant who began his career in public service at age 20 on the Board of Education in Union City, N.J., looked at the life of luxury his public salary could not buy, according to prosecutors, and saw in his friend Dr. Melgen a gateway to that opulence.

It wasn't actually a Versace piece and we never saw him in anything like it, but it was Ryan Murphy's vision of him flowing through the casa in Miami in this beautiful pink and gold robe—the opulence of it and the way that it popped throughout the stonewashed white walls of the casa.
As an indicator of opulence, the tassel naturally was used in jewelry: One of history's most infamous necklaces — the subject of the so-called Affair of the Diamond Necklace, a scandal that discredited Marie Antoinette and the French monarchy before the French Revolution — was, in fact, an elaborate confection of diamond pendants and tassels.
The one I appreciated the most was Rachel Schmidt's "Vanishing Points" (curated by Dawne Langford), which uses video projections, furniture, and a host of single-use consumer items to construct a vision of opulence set in a dystopian future where we have at last collectively depleted the earth of most of its natural resources.
But this time around, expect to also find Rihanna's take on a utility jumpsuit, designed in a luxury ribbed fabric; a brand new pair of hiking boots which will be known from now on as Hitch Hikers Boots; and a burnt-orange windbreaker that combines the functionality of velcro with the opulence of satin.
But while "Empire," now in its third season, relies on bombast and opulence, with a plot twist every few scenes — "Dynasty" and "Dallas" by way of peak Puff Daddy and Bad Boy Records — "Star" finds its creator returning to his earlier, grimier palette, including foster homes and addiction, for a slightly more earthbound tale.
Shot by cinematographer Robbie Ryan, The Favourite often employs a fisheye lens that gives the rooms of the palace a claustrophobic feel, as if it's more hothouse than estate, with everything from the lush foods to the rich woods and the candlelight and the flowers and opulence crammed into the middle, the edges blurry.
Fortunately, Tumblr fans were all over it: Crazy Rich Asians owes a deep debt to British satirists — particularly Jane Austen and William Makepeace Thackeray — in the way it lampoons the excesses of the rich while indulging in its own opulence, as well as its presentation of the cross-cultural messiness of modern postcolonial Asia.
Viewers are only given a brief peek into Lenny's plans as pope, but they include re-embracing the opulence of the papacy; rejecting his role as the public face of the Catholic church, and instead asking for his advisors to boost the Vatican radio signal; and bringing in his mother figure, Sister Mary (Diane Keaton), as his special advisor.
It's the nature of the Geneva Motor Show that to get to the fun new EV designs, you have to walk past an exhibition of ridiculous vehicular opulence, but nothing was going to slow me down en route to seeing the Honda e Prototype, the evolution of the most appealing electric vehicle concept I've yet seen.
As directed by Twilight's Bill Condon, this live-action Disney take is lush and grand, and even employs some shot-for-shot replicas of scenes from its animated predecessor — including the iconic moment where Belle and the Beast meet in the ballroom after descending opposite staircases: Condon's version has less Technicolor opulence, but you get it.
It has a camera that can record footage, a speaker so you can speak with a human or pet, and it even has an IR blaster so you can turn on your TV. Of course, the epitome of ball opulence is an included laser pointer so you can play with (or torment) your cat or dog.
A byword for modern opulence when this part of the Balkans was still part of the now defunct Yugoslavia, the state-owned Grand has gone into such a steep decline that even Kosovo's president, Hashim Thaci, usually an eager booster of everything his country has to offer, struggles to find anything nice to say about it.
"The whole conversation of my work has to do with power and who has it," Wiley told Vanity Fair in 2006 — and by placing black bodies (mostly black men, although he's begun to incorporate women into his work) in poses historically designed to demonstrate wealth, strength, and opulence, Wiley is redistributing the aesthetic power of art.
It's a march (with her trademark double-time verses) that starts out crisp and hollow and then builds and thickens with layers of keyboards, synthesizers and stately chimes — until, at the end, all the musical opulence suddenly falls away and she's left with just the piano and a scratchy morning-after voice, wondering just what she seeks.
The movie's lack of a critique or even an examination of its outrageous opulence is its most uneasy aspect, though that gives some cynical bite to its opening flashback, in which Eleanor Young (Michelle Yeoh), the mother of Rachel's eventual boyfriend, buys a London hotel out from under the sneering employees who snub her and her family when they try to check in.
Yet the contrast between their minimalist industrial austerity (they were made from lining fabric) and the opulence and ornamentation that characterized so much design in the Reagan years signaled the arrival of an intriguing talent, and of a designer whose intelligence has shone like a beacon ever since in a field in which brain power is not exactly in abundant supply.
The august Parisian jeweler long associated with Art Deco elegance and money-is-no-object opulence, particularly for well-heeled women (hey, Cartier is name-checked by Marilyn Monroe in "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend"), has become an unlikely darling of the young male watch-geek set, whose tastes typically run to brawny dive watches by Rolex and Omega.
Ms. May and her husband, as well as her brother and sister-in-law, took advantage of the mostly empty Capitol to play tourist, admiring an old desk near the entrance to the Senate chambers — "doesn't look very comfortable" — and strolling the steps of the so-called Million Dollar Staircase, the reddish-gold opulence of which can inspire even seasoned legislators to stop in awe.
Luxury seduction is central to the story — Eleanor wants to protect her son Nick and the family's fortune from Rachel; Rachel's goodness is based on her being able to walk away from Nick and his wealthy life; and viewers, who have seen director Jon M. Chu unfurl this glitzy universe, wonder if they could do the same thing as Rachel and turn down this opulence if given the chance.
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel racked up a $6.5-million bill for their wedding week in an Italian villa, George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin spent $4.6 million on their Venetian affair, and not even Kim and Kanye can match the opulence of these millionaire offspring with their $3.3-million Florence wedding, which included a performance by Lana del Rey, a 7-foot cake, and that famous flower wall.
TWA highlighted this opulence in a series of ads featuring the actor Peter Sellers playing foreign stereotypes, including a suave Italian: (Sellers' upper-crust Englishman in another ad is equally over-the-top hilarious; the ad also features a cameo by the staircase leading to the second-level lounge.) Meanwhile, "the jet's elephantine proportions were both a gift and a challenge to the travel industry," Mr. Vanhoenacker writes.
From a prosaic Beijing childhood spent enraptured by her grandmother's bedtime stories of the flowers she once sewed on her clothes, Guo has brought to life a riotous world of opulence, color and beauty — the guiding principle of her work and life — that has led her to become the first Chinese designer invited into the official Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, the French governing body for couture.
Related Video:VIDEO: Kim Kardashian West Sips Tea with Serena Williams The gift guide also includes a $69 silk blindfold, which is almost completely indistinguishable from a regular ribbon, a $100 "discreet" snowman-shaped vibrator, and in a show of pure, outrageous opulence, a $10,000 bottle of Armand de Brigand Brut Rosé Champagne (which you may remember from the time Beyoncé poured one of these rare bottles into a jacuzzi in the "Feeling Myself" music video).
Bringing Kevin Kwan's hit novel to the screen, "Crazy Rich Asians" gets the most important part of the movie very right, casting Constance Wu ("Fresh Off the Boat") as Rachel Chu -- the New York economics professor thrust into a world of staggering opulence, and almost-to-scale sniping and judgment -- and Michelle Yeoh as Eleanor, the imperious mother of Rachel's otherwise-perfect boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding, making a strong bid for romantic heartthrob status).
What the Shed will stand for in the long run is still T.B.D. But especially given the closeness in ethos between the Shed and the Park Avenue Armory — which has been presenting similarly grand, often celebrity-driven, boldly advertised events since 2011 — it's worth thinking, as we fete the arrival of a new shrine to artistic opulence, how it might affect the city's cultural weather, and what the New York scene will still be wanting after its arrival.
Backstage Beauty Report Backstage at Burberry's fall/winter 2016 show, the makeup artist Wendy Rowe mirrored the "earthy opulence" of Christopher Bailey's clothes with a trio of beauty looks: the nude ("some girls just look best completely natural, so we said let's keep it like that"), the disheveled (essentially a dark eye, lined with Burberry's Eye Colour Cream in charcoal with a glint of glittery sparkle — "as though they've tried to wipe it off") and the all-out glitter-bombed.
Ostensibly inspired by the opulence and gilded extravagance of circus wagons produced from 1824 to 1940 by the Bode Wagon Company in Cincinnati, the show was, in fact, a safe and predictable riff on the whimsy Ms. Bode has mined before from folk art, found objects and vintage textiles (no designer has ever gotten more mileage out of an old tablecloth.) What struck this observer, though, was the research Ms. Bode conducted at the archives of the Ringling museum in Sarasota, Fla.
