Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Emma’s black jumpsuit The dress at the premiere last night wasn’t working for me. But this jumpsuit at the photocall today is perfect. The cutouts are balanced by the high collar. The pants fit her just right. And the shoe choice is excellent – a pointed pump with the toe cut straight across. By Lainey • Feb 24, 2017 10:49 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Emma’s caped dress I should like this dress more than I do. It’s caped. Which is always one of my favourite features. But … there’s something about the material here. Is it too… stiff? What’s bothering me is the placement of the darts around her breasts. I hate breast darts. Remember By Lainey • Feb 24, 2017 10:41 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Beyoncé: Coachella, Snapchat, LGBTQ, and Celine! Busy day in Beyoncé yesterday. First, it was confirmed, officially, that she will not be performing at Coachella in April. Which… doesn’t really need an explanation. But she provided one anyway: Following the advice of her doctors to keep a less rigorous schedule in the coming months, Beyoncé has By Lainey • Feb 24, 2017 10:14 am
Theatre Nerd Jake’s singing heart It was opening night on Broadway on Thursday for the revival of Sunday In The Park With George starring Annaleigh Ashford and Jake Gyllenhaal, directed by Sarna Lapine.

Anne Hathaway Annie’s in town At the beginning of the year, Anne Hathaway told her followers that she was taking an indefinite break from Instagram and Facebook. Hey all, Happy New Year! Let's keep it positive, people. I am grateful to 2016 for the birth of my son and all that has meant, By Lainey • Feb 23, 2017 12:27 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Katy’s two outfits at the BRITs Did I mention that I didn’t hate Katy Perry’s Tom Ford at the Grammys? That said, it’s a better outfit in photographs. Once you see her moving around, the placement of the sequined top moved around too much, and she fussed with it too much. I also By Lainey • Feb 23, 2017 11:40 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Charlize Theron, Atomic Blonde Charlize Theron was pretty quiet in 2016. The Huntsman: Winter’s War didn’t do much at the beginning of the year. She was in Cannes for Sean Penn’s film The Last Face, which bombed at the festival. And I don’t remember her doing a lot of heavy By Lainey • Feb 23, 2017 11:16 am
Style Front row Tom Hiddleston For the last couple of years, there’s been no label hotter than Gucci. Gucci was in Formation to begin 2016. And Beyoncé and the Blue Ivy Carter were seen in Gucci several times through the year. The best red carpet dress this year so far has arguably been the By Lainey • Feb 23, 2017 10:20 am
Jimmy Kimmel Intro for February 23, 2017 Dear Gossips, Jimmy Kimmel, host of this year’s Oscars, has been giving interviews all over the place ahead of the show on Sunday. He says pretty much the same thing from outlet to outlet. Except he gave us a heads up in Vanity Fair: “The thing about the schedule By Lainey • Feb 23, 2017 09:29 am
Maple Leaf Celine wears her feelings Celine Dion was in Vegas yesterday to promote The Celine Dion Collection – bags and accessories … WITH FEELING. As you can see, she was wearing her feelings. And, primarily, the one feeling she’s taken ownership of: LOVE. Her heart will go on. On her jacket. But this is a great By Lainey • Feb 22, 2017 03:22 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Amy Adams pre-Oscar Amy Adams will be at the Oscars on Sunday – as a presenter and not a nominee. She was considered one of the major “snubs” of the year. Because Arrival has been nominated for Best Picture. And Denis Villeneuve is nominated for Best Director. And if you’ve seen Arrival, you By Lainey • Feb 22, 2017 02:02 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Meryl’s pink turtleneck OF COURSE I love this dress. It’s a bag. It’s a turtleneck that just doesn’t stop. I’m not crazy about the stripes down the side, or the black shoes, but I would wear this so happily. And comfortably. By Lainey • Feb 22, 2017 01:09 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Cynthia’s short pyjama suit We’ve seen more and more celebrities stepping out in pyjamas as streetwear and on carpets. This suit on Cynthia Erivo has the cut of pyjamas but the print and the brightness of a conventional red carpet outfit. It looks comfortable. And I love that the pants are short.

Award Season Campaigning Ryan Gosling pre-Oscars Ryan Gosling stepped out for lunch yesterday in Los Feliz. On Sunday, as you know, he’ll be at the Oscars, as a nominee for Best Actor for his performance in La La Land. He won’t win. Unless he’s a spoiler? Unless Denzel Washington and Casey Affleck split By Lainey • Feb 22, 2017 11:19 am
