Gorgessity Outfit of the Week: Leslie Jones Leslie Jones presented at the ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood event last night and the outfit she wore may be my favourite of all the outfits she’s ever worn.

Style Intro for April 22, 2021 Dear Gossips, All signs point to the fact that fashion will be a conversation at the Oscars. Keep your eye on Regina King.

Models Anya and Tiffany Anya Taylor-Joy is one of pop culture’s biggest sensations so, of course, it makes sense that she’s being offered brand ambassadorships. Here she is in New York yesterday shooting a campaign with Alton Mason for Tiffany & Co. Can we just talk about Alton Mason? Because, my GOD, By Lainey • Apr 14, 2021 02:44 pm
Gorgessity JLo, Charlize Theron, and the J-dough?! Jennifer Lopez covers the May 2021 issue of InStyle and I really like what they’ve done with this feature – “in her own words (and everyone else’s)” so we’re getting JLo on JLo but we’re also getting dozens of other celebrities and dignitaries, like Michelle Obama, Matthew By Lainey • Apr 06, 2021 11:43 am
SAG Awards 2021 Viola, Carey, and the Best Actress Race As I mentioned in today’s open, this year’s Oscar race is one of the most wide open we’ve seen in a long time, especially in the Best Actress category.

Gorgessity How Rihanna goes for groceries I haven’t been to a grocery store in a long time. I do, however, try to make it to the butcher every weekend and when I do… this is not what I look like. I actually don’t look at what I look like because it’s a real By Lainey • Mar 30, 2021 03:45 pm

She was nominated alongside Regina Hall, Folake Olowofoyeku, Yara Shahidi, and Tracee Ellis Ross. And she hilariously shouted out Tracee in her acceptance speech. By Lainey • Mar 29, 2021 10:38 am
Gorgessity Outfit of the Week: Kelly Marie Tran Disney’s Raya and The Last Dragon is now available to stream on Disney+. Read Sarah’s review of the film here – spoiler alert: it’s GOOD. I loved it.

Style The Golden Globe Triumphs of Regina King It is very late and lazy to be using “what can’t Regina King do?!” as a framework for a piece – I mean, late in the night, but especially late in her recent run of media domination, even if One Night in Miami didn’t get any recognition last night.

TV Updates Queen Jodie (in the dark) As we learned last year, Jodie Turner-Smith is playing Anne Boleyn in a new prestige drama series about the doomed queen’s downfall. We’ve seen her on set in the headpieces, but now we have our first official still of JTS as Anne and, well, it’s not great. By Sarah • Feb 11, 2021 11:53 am
Movie Reviews and Previews JLo Felt the Sting Jennifer Lopez covers the new issue of Allure and I’m surprised at the cover look they chose for this issue for their 30th anniversary. Maybe that was the point – to surprise. Because even though JLo changes her hair all the time, it’s usually a familiar rotation: topknot, voluminous By Lainey • Feb 10, 2021 02:32 pm

Gorgessity Angelina and Zahara go to Target Remember when people used to jokingly pronounced “Target” as “tar-zhay”? Was that just a Canadian thing? Or was in the US too? Do they still do that? I haven’t heard it in a long time, but that might also be because Target is no longer in Canada. Here are By Lainey • Jan 18, 2021 12:14 pm
Gorgessity Rihanna Brings Modern Art to the Masses Rihanna covers a lot of magazines, but I never find myself fatigued and that’s because she continues to raise the bar, pushing past pretty pictures and aiming for something more interesting. Let’s be honest, she’s going to look stunning no matter what, so she might as well By Cody • Jan 15, 2021 11:57 am
