Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kerry in black taffeta I am ordinarily not a fan of taffeta. There are better materials, less limiting materials. Taffeta can usually only be one thing – a princess prom gown which… I mean the princess prom gown, I guess, has stood the test of time, so I suppose it will never go away – but By Lainey • Jan 16, 2018 12:50 pm
BFFs Is Wendi Deng a political operative? Wendi Deng refers to herself as Wendi Murdoch on Instagram. I have always found this interesting. Because Wendi is Chinese. And in Chinese culture, we don’t take our husbands’ last names. Before you get too excited, this wasn’t an example of advance feminism on our part. The tradition By Lainey • Jan 16, 2018 12:25 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Tessa’s sequined pantsuit There are a lot of things I love about this pantsuit on Tessa Thompson. First, this shade of champagne, or whatever you want to call it, is a great colour on her. Also, right now, I’m all about finding an all-sequin tuxedo for an upcoming event. So I’m By Lainey • Jan 16, 2018 11:55 am
Top Reads Can I keep loving Timothee Chalamet? My love for Timothee Chalamet started at TIFF after seeing Call Me By Your Name. I think, at the time, I called him my “new obsession”. On that note, have you seen #CMBYN yet? Would you? It’s a gorgeous film. It’ll stay with you for a long time. By Lainey • Jan 16, 2018 11:01 am

Intro for January 15, 2018 Dear Gossips, Is there a cold going around where you are? Is it the same one that’s going around where I am? That cold has now ended up at my house. Do you work when you’re sick? You’re not supposed to because it gets other people sick. By Lainey • Jan 15, 2018 10:02 am
What Else What Else? Did you see Emma Roberts at the Critics’ Choice Awards? I’m not mad that she’s trying to do something different with her hair. I would rather different than what Angelina Jolie did with her hair last night. But I could not remember what it is, or who it By Lainey • Jan 12, 2018 05:13 pm
Maple Leaf Celine for the weekend This story came out earlier in the week but I’ve been saving it for today because I had a feeling I’d need to go into the weekend with Celine Dion.

Bad Hair Angelina Jolie: feathers and new friends Angelina Jolie and Loung Ung attended the Critics’ Choice Awards last night representing First They Killed My Father.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Saoirse’s bloused sequins I have come to love a pre-bloused dress. I don’t think, 10 years ago, I would have considered it. But I love it now and have learned to appreciate that it’s a tricky design feature that, when done well, and it’s done very, very well here, is By Lainey • Jan 12, 2018 01:30 pm
Music Taylor Swift’s End Game video Taylor Swift premiered the video for End Game last night, the third video off reputation after Look What You Made Me Do and Ready For It.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Jessica & Greta in green and white pleats I don’t know why green always shows up on red carpets in singles. As in, after award shows, there are often fashion headlines like, “the red parade at the Oscars!” or “silver storms the red carpet at the Golden Globes!. But… is it ever green? And if not, why By Lainey • Jan 12, 2018 11:49 am
Gorgessity Gal Gadot’s close-up Gal Gadot was presented with the #SeeHer Award at Critics’ Choice last night. In, like, 2 years or whatever, when hashtags aren’t used anymore, how are they going to feel about naming an award and styling it like this with a hashtag? In 25 years, will that look stupid By Lainey • Jan 12, 2018 10:37 am
Business of Hollywood Olivia Munn hosts the Critics’ Choice Awards No, the monologue rap wasn’t great. So I get it if, with a start like that, you weren’t all that into Olivia Munn last night hosting the Critics’ Choice Awards. But, apart from that rap, I actually quite enjoyed her. She was much stronger during the in-between awards By Lainey • Jan 12, 2018 09:03 am
