My Sister Wants a 2026 Rebrand—30 New Wardrobe and Beauty Staples I Texted Her

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.

There's one person who inspires me more than anyone else: my older sister, Gwen. From personal style to career to mindset, she's the coolest and hardest-working person I know. Recently, we chatted about our fashion and beauty visions for the new year—she's a minimalist who loves skincare-focused beauty, timeless silhouettes, and subtle touches of luxury. Being the highly experienced shopper I am, I figured it was time for me to inspire her for a change. From a timeless trench coat to cashmere perfume to gold hoops, here's my tightly curated edit of fashion and beauty essentials your older sister—and every other chic woman in your life—will love.
