Having limited eyesight is a struggle for everyone who suffers with it, and Peyton List was no exception. The Cobra Kai star has struggled with near sighted-ness for her whole life, but that recently came to an end. In December, List became the latest celebrity in the U.S. to get EVO – a life-changing new FDA approved implantable lens designed to fix distance vision problems or nearsightedness. List had EVO lenses implanted by her doctor to finally put an end to her many years of personal vision frustrations such as torn contact lenses on set, irritating makeup-smudged contacts during her beauty routine, and forgotten glasses when she was on the road.
Everywhere you turn this NYFW, you’ll see themes of fluidity in everything from fashion to hair, to mindsets themselves. But what exactly does this term mean? On Valentine’s Day, it was a sea of style (and fluidity, might we add) at Manhattan’s iconic Spring Studios as Choreographer Parris Goebel, Designer Jonathan Simkahi and TRESemmé Stylist & Entrepreneur Lacy Redway sat down with Harper’s Bazaar Beauty Director Jenna Rosenstein to discuss the meaning of fluidity and how it presents itself in their own lives and careers.

From the minds of Trevor Frost and Melissa Lesh, Prime Video’s new documentary Wildcat takes viewers on an emotional journey of healing, through the raising of a baby ocelot. It tells the story of Harry Turner, a young British soldier struggling with severe depression and PTSD after returning from war in Afghanistan, on a journey into the Peruvian amazon. Once there, he meets Samantha Zwicker, a conservationist running a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center. The two share a heartfelt passion for wanting to care for orphaned animals, and when they rescue a one-month-old ocelot, new meaning is brought to all of their lives. The true and inspiring story was brought to life through Zwicker and Turner personally documenting the process, which brings about a more unique format for the documentary. It feels as if you’re right next to them, experiencing the sites and new beginnings just as they are.
“When we when we first met them, they actually came to us with a hard drive of footage that they had filmed themselves,” Melissa Lesh said. “So it was very clear from the beginning that they were able to capture this journey, this process and the science of reintroduction. So that was something that we really embraced, and wanted to work with them on for the longer story.”
The longer story involves Keanu, the second Ocelot that the pair rescued, and viewers can look forward to seeing all of the adorable details on screen. We sat down with the cast and team behind this incredible story, check it out below!
