4 Women, 50 Years of Ralph Lauren

In partnership with our friends at

What makes a heritage brand? Half a century of rich history? Staying relevant in a way that feels new and modern and totally inspired? It’s a unique and potent cocktail of both—and one that Ralph Lauren has been shaking up since 1968. The following women demonstrate that fifty (in fashion years) looks good on everyone.

TyLynn Nguyen

DESIGNER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR, TYLYNN NGUYEN

“My style is feminine and minimal. I love classic wardrobe staples that can be carried out from season to season, and I take a timeless approach to my wardrobe. I like to look polished dressed up or down, and I gravitate toward items I feel best in.”

Samantha Wennerstrom

AUTHOR, COULD I HAVE THAT?
“Mornings with my three-year-old are a true juggling act that notoriously involves something sticky or crunchy. More than ever, I keep things relaxed with my style and wear a lot of denim, feminine blouses, easy dresses, and a few jewelry pieces that I never take off. Delicate blouses are definitely my weakness—I can never turn a good one down!”

Jenny Westerhoff

PHOTO EDITOR, GOOP

“I draw a lot of inspiration from whatever I’m reading or watching at the moment, and I dress based on mood or influence. I’ve recently been transitioning my wardrobe to include more timeless pieces, like a feminine dress if the occasion calls for it, and using vintage items to add some personality.”

Laurel Stovall

ASSOCIATE, GOOP LAB

“My personal style would fall somewhere between 1996 Christy Turlington and the Berlusconi film Stealing Beauty. I used to put way more effort into leaving the house in my twenties, but now the approach has slowly morphed into asking myself what looks clean and chic without too many layers or effort.”
