Movie Reviews and Previews Jennifer & Margot: one hairstyle, two campaigns Did you see mother!? The movie with the dumbest punctuation of the year?

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Elizabeth Olsen’s LACMA tuxedo I’m never going to be mad at a woman in a tuxedo at a gala. Especially when it fits so beautifully and is so obviously well-constructed.

Baby and Bump Obsession Brad goes out too Angelina Jolie stepped out this weekend and so did Brad Pitt. He was at the LACMA Art + Film gala. Because he’s a major arts patron.
