Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Gugu’s best outfit So happy to see – this is my favourite outfit that Gugu Mbatha-Raw’s ever worn. It’s the most interesting, with the high collar and the pattern and the slight flare to the skirt. More! By Lainey • May 12, 2016 01:53 pm

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Naomi’s Cannes lilac I can’t get excited about this, I’m sorry. First of all, I have a hard time with lilac in large sections.

Intro for May 12, 2016 Dear Gossips, Before bed last night I read a piece at Salon about pop culture FOMO that I’m still thinking about this morning.

Cannes 2016 Posh’s understated Cannes Victoria Beckham is in Cannes. Don’t ask me what official business she’s there for. Does it matter? It’s Cannes. As you know, the Cannes carpet is the EXTRA carpet. This is where, if you want to, you can do MORE. It’s excessive, it’s obscene, and By Lainey • May 11, 2016 04:44 pm

Relationship Assumption Courteney & Johnny’s first back-together carpet The BMI Pop Awards happened last night.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kate Beckinsale’s sheer panels I’m shocked Kate Hudson didn’t get to this dress first. In white. Or JLO. I mean, it’s fine. It’s obvious.
