Style Outfit of the Week: Kerry Washington Sometimes, when a look is so good, I feel violent. Like I want to whip around a room smashing things to properly express how f-cking rad an outfit is. Because a fist pump just doesn’t seem like it’s enough, you know? This is what happened when I saw By Lainey • Feb 14, 2020 03:28 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Taika, the Winner There were three joyous things about this awards season: 1) it was short. I know this was hard on the nominees/participants, but for everyone else the brevity was a bonus; 2) Bong Joon-ho and Parasite are the feel-good entertainment story of the year. It’s so fun and wonderful By Sarah • Feb 13, 2020 01:11 pm
Top Reads Natalie Portman responds to criticism We’ve been talking about Natalie Portman’s Oscar dress for four days now, and not necessarily in the way she intended it to be talked about. Duana wrote about it on Monday after the Oscars and appreciated the effort. Maria mentioned the controversy yesterday in Celebrity Social Media as By Lainey • Feb 13, 2020 12:36 pm
Oscars 2020 Brad Pitt doesn’t have speechwriters, just friends One of the questions many of us were asking leading up to the Oscars had to do with Brad Pitt’s acceptance speeches; they were so sharp, the jokes so precise, that we wondered whether or not he’d hired a speechwriter – and there were some reports that his team By Lainey • Feb 11, 2020 03:56 pm
BFFs Timmy at the Oscar parties When it was announced that Saoirse Ronan was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in Little Women and that Timothee Chalamet would be presenting, the corner of the internet that lights up for their friendship (Joanna is one of them) was expecting that there’d be at least a By Lainey • Feb 11, 2020 12:39 pm
Oscars 2020 Intro for February 11, 2020 Dear Gossips, For the last few weeks, we’ve all been thirsting for the least thirsty person – which is probably why we can’t get enough of her. You know who I’m talking about: it’s Sharon Choi, the filmmaker and interpreter who’s been showing the sh-t of By Lainey • Feb 11, 2020 09:14 am
Maple Leaf Sandra Oh: The Heavenly Angel & The Black Swan – Oscars Best Dressed (Lainey) I came across an outlet that had Sandra Oh on their Worst Dressed List because it was “too much”. Um, in what f-cking world?! Her golden peach Elie Saab dress to the Oscars proper was, quite simply, her best red carpet outfit Of All Time. And yes, I had the By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 04:33 pm
Style Janelle Monae: Oscars Best Dressed (Duana) Last year, at the Emmy Awards, Lainey and I made the difficult decision to retire Zendaya from competition in any sort of fashion capacity. It was this epic green dress that did it, but to be honest, she’d been problematically excellent for some time, and we risked a can’ By Duana • Feb 10, 2020 04:22 pm
Assy Style Saoirse Ronan: Oscars Personal Worst (Duana) This is going to hurt. Well, for me. It’s going to hurt me. I am, of course, a huge fan of Saoirse Ronan. I think she’s skillful, clever, and nuanced as an actress, and I like watching her play the red carpet game. I’m just going to By Duana • Feb 10, 2020 03:51 pm
Assy Style Margot Robbie: Oscars Worst Dressed (Lainey) There’s nothing wrong, really, with Margot Robbie’s Oscar 2020 dress. It’s fine. It’s black. It’s strapless. There’s chiffon wrapped around her forearms leaving a trail down the length of her body. And I suppose that’s a pretty-ish effect, but also not really all By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 03:30 pm
Oscars 2020 Joaquin Phoenix & Renee Zellweger: Arrested Award Winners? Joaquin Phoenix and Renee Zellweger have had the dubious distinctions, this awards season, of being the de facto winners in their categories almost as soon as the season started. Like, everyone sort of agrees on the Golden Globes being a pace setter, but other shows having the ability to move By Duana • Feb 10, 2020 03:19 pm
Oscars 2020 Brad Pitt: Oscar Prom King Hollywood is high school. That’s why everyone wants Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston to get back together – don’t we want to see the Prom King and Queen together forever and ever, happily ever after? Brad was finally crowned last night at the Oscars and while we were all By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 02:59 pm
Oscars 2020 Florence Pugh: Committed and Chill? You know the one awards show custom I totally don’t get? Changing into a totally different look for the after party – or parties. I mean, I do get it, of course: why limit yourself to one outfit if you could choose two? I would have so much fun if By Duana • Feb 10, 2020 02:16 pm
Coincidence or conspiracy Leo’s Oscar date …dejavu? The last time Leonardo DiCaprio went to the Oscars with a date who wasn’t a relative was in 2005, Gisele Bundchen. It was kind of a big deal back then because up to that point, and mostly still now, Leo’s method has been to never put his love By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 01:21 pm
Aging Gorgessity Gal, Brie, & Sigourney: Oscars Superhero Sisterhood Points to the producers who put this grouping together; I don’t know which of these women was secured as a presenter first or last, and of course there don’t have to be obvious links between the celebrities who present an award – like, what’s the connection between Ray By Duana • Feb 10, 2020 12:59 pm
Style Timmy’s Oscar Tracksuit What I like most about Billie Eilish’s approach to fashion is that she doesn’t compromise her style identity for quality. She’s been wearing luxury brands on every carpet while avoiding a ball gown. Everything is an oversized designer label, and completely in tune with her current fashion By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 12:12 pm
