What Else What Else? I wrote earlier about Nicole Kidman’s ability to elevate a black dress. The same is true of Cate Blanchett who was also in Venice (so many Venice Queens!), in a succession of fire looks, including this black velvet dress. Cate’s currently promoting Disclaimer which is premiering in October By Lainey • Sep 03, 2024 04:01 pm
What Else What Else? PROGRAMMING NOTE: Today is our last posting day of the week ahead of Labour Day weekend.

What Else What Else? Media isn’t easy for celebrities. Some are better at it than others, and some try hard but flop because, well, either the music isn’t good or the movie isn’t good or the message isn’t good and/or all of the above. See, for example, Katy Perry. By Lainey • Aug 26, 2024 04:27 pm
What Else What Else? FKA Twigs, making some interesting shoe choices. (Go Fug Yourself) I read this philosophical essay once that life is so inherently chaotic and random and overwhelming that humans look for meaning in coincidence in order to give order and importance to the events in our lives. Like saying “what a By Sarah • Aug 23, 2024 04:00 pm

What Else What Else? The Academy is still looking for a host for the Oscars. It’s August, they don’t need to rush, but at the same time, I’m sure the production team would like to know who they’re working with. And now a volunteer has emerged: RuPaul would like the By Lainey • Aug 21, 2024 04:11 pm
What Else What Else? Katy Perry was a fixture at political conventions a decade ago. Now she’s still trying to convince people to care about her new album and, yeah, I get it, this is her work. She should be promoting it. The audience might not be receiving that promotion but she can’ By Lainey • Aug 20, 2024 04:05 pm
What Else What Else? This look on Jenna Ortega is SO good. She’s promoting Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. It’s on theme, no doubt. But it’s definitely on fashion. As in it’s just stylish, period, with or without the movie. The suit is beautifully cut with such interesting detailing, I actually want to By Lainey • Aug 19, 2024 04:42 pm
What Else What Else? Yes, the Olympics are over. But the Paralympics are just beginning, and in the US, finally, NBC/Peacock is offering rather robust coverage. This year, 160 countries are expected to air the Paralympics, as the popularity of Paralympics is rising. That’s a win for everyone, from the athletes who By Sarah • Aug 16, 2024 04:07 pm
What Else What Else? The Alien: Romulus premiere was last night and Cailee Spaeny and the cast delivered with their looks. This is both fashion and on theme with the film but not so obviously on theme that it’s overkill. In fact it’s so subtle you probably won’t notice. By the By Lainey • Aug 15, 2024 04:01 pm
What Else What Else? Blink Twice, formerly titled Pussy Island, comes out next week, I can’t wait to see it.

What Else What Else? There’s been a lot of confusion and controversy about Jordan Chiles’s bronze medal after the news that the IOC has decided to strip her of her bronze medal after the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled against her.

What Else What Else? I am fascinated by the logistics of the Olympics. Like how it all comes together, how they make it all work behind the scenes, etc. It’s why I like the movie Olympic Dreams. It’s not the best movie ever, but it was shot on location during the 2018 By Sarah • Aug 09, 2024 04:09 pm
