StyleWeekOC is back at Fashion Island in Newport Beach for its Crystal Anniversary, Oct. 14-18, and this year's lineup brings a little extra Hollywood shine to Orange County. The Newport Beach Film Festival joins in again, running Oct. 15-22.
Actress, podcaster and editorial favorite Jamie Chung, a California native, headlines the week before she starts filming a new feature alongside Miles Teller. Also on the guest list are Emmy-winning television personality Keltie Knight, who will be joined in conversation by "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum Crystal Kung Minkoff, and 10-year-old designer Max Alexander, who will appear at the West Coast documentary premiere of "Couture to the Max." More celebrity panelists will be announced in the coming weeks.
The two festivals joined forces three years ago, and the partnership has become a true Southern California destination for style, culture and conversation. Last year's crowd included Jacob Elordi, Penn Badgley, Ashley Park and Noah Schnapp, along with a screening of the documentary "Thom Browne: The Man Who Tailors Dreams."
This year's theme is Sunlit Glamoratti, a sun-dappled, Hollywood-inspired look. Expect brand activations, industry panels, fashion shows, beauty events and a glittering opening night, plus a culinary event where fashion is the main dish.
Fashion Island has been busy, too. New arrivals include Ralph Lauren, Varley and Rothy's, along with Levain Bakery, Telefèric Barcelona and Ralph's Coffee, which made its Southern California debut here. Farm Rio, Jones Road Beauty and Hill House Home are coming soon. They join anchors Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom, and OC exclusives such as RH, Todd Snyder, Buck Mason, L'Agence, Rag & Bone, Cinq à Sept, Monica Vinader, Rails, PAIGE and American Vintage.
