Faux Gossip Bradley, Gaga, Irina: a new triangle? Oh my God, please, can this stop? As you know, Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga performed “Shallow” at the Oscars, directed by Bradley Cooper. This is an important point, because people seem to have lost their goddamn minds about their chemistry and how undeniable it is that they’re in By Lainey • Feb 27, 2019 10:34 am
Oscars 2019 Intro for February 27, 2019 Dear Gossips, Yesterday in this space, I wrote about the hierarchy of Oscar parties, how the Vanity Fair party has become the appetiser instead of the main course, and former VF editor Graydon Carter’s Importance Index and Seven Room theories of fame. Trevor Noah addressed the very same themes By Lainey • Feb 27, 2019 09:32 am
Oscars 2019 Awkwafina: Oscar Best Dressed (Duana) I loved this the moment I saw it, and then it grew on me from there. It was kitschy! It was sparkly! It was totally Awkwafina, and also not like anything we’d seen her wear before – or, if it is, it feels new, and that’s part of it. By Duana • Feb 25, 2019 04:45 pm
Oscars 2019 Lady Gaga: Oscar Worst Dressed (Duana) Yes, it is glamourous. Some would say it’s a 7-year-old girl’s version of glamorous, what with the long gloves, but let’s not quibble. Yes, it is ‘appropriate’ to win your first Oscar in, as proven. Yes, it is slightly more unusual because it has the black ‘hips’ By Duana • Feb 25, 2019 04:39 pm
Assy Style Julia Roberts: Oscar Worst Dressed (Kathleen) Whatever Julia Roberts’ equivalent of the Beygency is, Duana is its president. Duana and her Best Friend’s Wedding Party (I just made this up since Duana says Julia stans are too old for a fan nickname) will want to come for me based on the headline of this post By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 04:18 pm
Oscars 2019 Charlize Theron: Oscar Worst Dressed (Lainey) It’s because her bar is so high. Like, was Charlize Theron’s dress as bad as, say, Kacey Musgraves’s? Well, no. But also they’re not playing on the same field, at least not yet. Kacey’s still getting to her style level. Charlize is at the top By Lainey • Feb 25, 2019 04:04 pm
Oscars 2019 Amandla Stenberg: Oscar Best Dressed (Kathleen) The Oscars took my advice on one of my past pet peeves of the show. There weren’t endless montages featuring movies that the show didn’t recognize. It’s annoying when the Academy snubs great films for ones like Green Book but then will cycle through the good ones By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 02:52 pm
Oscars 2019 Jason Momoa & Lisa Bonet: Oscar Best Dressed (Lainey) Probably they could have worn anything and been Best Dressed, right? I just don’t see how it’s possible for Lisa Bonet to show up at the Oscars and not claim one of the Best Dressed spots. This woman’s fashion influence on what we’ve been wearing for By Lainey • Feb 25, 2019 02:44 pm
Oscars 2019 Chadwick Boseman Knows What Oscar Wants Everyone on social media is using the same picture of Chadwick Boseman on the red carpet, in front of that weird corridor-photo wall they had this year. It’s this one: Partly, it’s because you can clearly see his floor-length caftan jacket of awesome, it was tough going to By Duana • Feb 25, 2019 01:56 pm
Oscars 2019 What’s In JLo’s Oscar Mirror? Let’s get one thing very, very clear here. Jennifer Lopez looked stunnnning last night. It’s not just that she’s beautiful, which she is – but that dress is a treat for the eyes. I never, ever got tired of looking at it, from every multi-faceted angle, which of By Duana • Feb 25, 2019 01:44 pm
Oscars 2019 The MBJ Love Triangle Shockingly, no one in this triangle with Michael Bae Jordan is me but only because it’s not a real love triangle. You know how people seem to think that Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper are f-cking? Their chemistry seems as contrived as two theatre kids who learned what falling By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 01:21 pm
Oscars 2019 Emma’s Oscar date Emma Stone and Dave McCary have been pretty undercover since they started dating. At least they were. This award season though we’ve seen them step out together much more – front row at a basketball game and he joined her at the SAG Awards. That hasn’t been Emma’s By Lainey • Feb 25, 2019 01:01 pm
Gorgessity Constance Wu’s marigold & Henry Golding’s cheese Crazy Rich Asians only came out six months ago and since then it seems that CRA has been represented on every major carpet, capping off their run at the Oscars last night. We’ve already talked about Michelle Yeoh and Gemma Chan, and Constance Wu, with Jon M Chu, and By Lainey • Feb 25, 2019 12:52 pm
Oscars 2019 Chris Evans exists Regina King won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar – her first— for her role in If Beale Street Could Talk. Somehow, Chris Evans is now in almost every story about Regina King’s win because the man sat beside her mom and… looked in her direction a few times? Because he By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 11:25 am
Oscars 2019 King Regina There were a lot of “Queens” in attendance last night. Queen, the band. Queen Latifah. Olivia Coleman and Helen Mirren in spirit. The Queen of Wakanda, Angela Bassett. Billy Porter if we’re still saying “yasss Queen!” And then there was Regina King. Lainey schooled me that “Regina” means “Queen” By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 10:27 am
Oscars 2019 Melissa McCarthy Won’t Let Me I wanted to be annoyed. Melissa McCarthy was the long-shot nominee for a fantastic performance in Can You Ever Forgive Me, and even though I knew, and you knew, and she knew, that it was never going to happen, I wanted more people to treat it like it was a By Duana • Feb 25, 2019 10:15 am
