What Else What Else? New York Fashion Week happens right after Labour Day and this year, I wonder what it’s going to feel like backstage if Kendall Jenner is walking and, well, you know, she’s never had to work as hard as the others. Which I don’t think anyone ever doubted By Lainey • Aug 21, 2018 04:22 pm
Robert Pattinson Robert Pattinson’s pub day Robert Pattinson has been home in London all summer with some time off before shooting his next project. As you recall, he was seen there a few weeks ago with Suki Waterhouse, photographed kissing and hugging in Notting Hill.

Bad Style Anna & Blake present at the VMAs As Kathleen wrote earlier, the VMAs were a mess last night, and that’s before Madonna paid tribute to herself. The production was sloppy. The shot selection was terrible. I don’t understand this, because MTV isn’t some amateur media outlet. They have the experience…and the budget. Whatever By Lainey • Aug 21, 2018 02:32 pm

Music Ariana & Pete’s first carpet I have something to say but I’m afraid to say it: I listened to Ariana Grande’s album Sweetener this weekend. It’s the first time I’ve ever listened to an AG album all the way through. It was… OK. I didn’t hate it. I didn’t By Lainey • Aug 21, 2018 11:35 am

Quiveration Shawn Mendes in the rain Stage rain. But whatever. It worked for me, and wasn’t that the point? You can’t tell me that designing a performance so that it ends with him getting wet and showing us what he might look like in the shower wasn’t the point. Even the wardrobe was By Lainey • Aug 21, 2018 10:16 am

What Else What Else? Ohhhh kayyy, EMMA. She’s a repeat champion, FINE. But I’ve just looked at her technique.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Selena’s cute bangs I’m not a bang person. My ma permanently killed any affection I had for bangs by telling me that bangs are luck blockers because they cover your forehead. I do, however, love these little bangs on Selena Gomez. Clarification, I love the way they look in these photos. I By Lainey • Aug 20, 2018 04:10 pm
