Style The Wedding Banquet party did not coordinate The Wedding Banquet opens this weekend, which means Lily Gladstone is back in our lives, and this time she’s in a rom-com.

That group includes Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, and Andy Samberg, all of whom went on to greater fame outside of By Sarah • Mar 18, 2025 01:15 pm
Style Oscar Best Dressed: Bowen Yang (Duana) It wasn’t even hard. Bowen Yang was my Best Dressed before the show was halfway done – I wanted to wait to see if anyone was going to surprise me, but I knew it wasn’t even going to be close – because his look, which is custom Etro, fulfills what By Duana • Mar 03, 2025 01:44 pm
As Seen on Social Media As Seen On Social Media: Kate Hudson’s power suits and Jessica Alba’s black belt Kate Hudson: stylist switch up? Remember how I said Kate Hudson pulls up to the press junket ready to work? A big part of that is wardrobe; she pulls so many looks with her long-time stylist Sofia Lopez. Typically, we associate Kate with a bit of a boho glam look By Maria • Feb 28, 2025 01:05 pm

Quiveration The Emmys of Well-Dressed Men When Sarah, Duana, and I were doing our wrap-up on Zoom last night, the consensus is that this was probably one of the most well-dressed award shows we’ve seen in a while. I mean, sure, there were some boring choices, but not so boring that it veered into offensive. By Lainey • Sep 16, 2024 09:13 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Lily + Bowen rom-com delight Here is something I didn’t know I needed, a rom-com starring Lily Gladstone and Bowen Yang. Yes! Lily! Be in something light-hearted for once!

Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for June 14, 2022 Dear Gossips, Have you seen Fire Island yet? It’s my current favourite rom-com, the one I’ve been watching on repeat for days.

Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Amanda Gorman & The Pressures of Perfection The Amanda Gorman spread in the May issue of Vogue, complete with two different covers, is, of course, stunning – not surprising, maybe, based on Gorman’s style (and the fact that she signed with IMG not long after her performance at the Presidential Inauguration launched her into the celebrity stratosphere) By Duana • Apr 15, 2021 02:24 pm
