Now, she’s the red carpet interviewer du jour. By the time you read this, she’ll have served as the official social media ambassador of the Oscars. “And the red carpet correspondent,” she chimes in, “which I added [to the title]. I’m quite particular.” Today she’s in prep mode, squeezing in a quick club sandwich at … Read more
I always knew it was gonna be about a screenwriter and a novelist who had known each other in high school, and the archetypes of who they were in high school. I didn’t want to do any research because I was busy at the time, so it was just going to be about adaptation. But … Read more
Her sartorial transformation is just one of many in the Regency romp’s next chapter: there’s also Colin himself, who returns from his European adventures as a more rugged and worldly suitor, trading his Bridgerton baby blues for earthier shades; Eloise, whose outfits begin to mirror the flamboyance of Cressida’s; and Kate Bridgerton, née Sharma (Simone … Read more
The news of any aughts-era reality show streaming on Bravo is always exciting to me (if either of my parents, who spent a significant amount of money to educate me, are reading that sentence, sorry), but I have to admit that I’m especially excited about the streaming availability of NYC Prep, the 2009 Bravo show … Read more
Great war films—and I’d call Alex Garland’s Civil War a great and totally modern war film—should be discomfiting.

In Vogue’s latest episode of Off the Cuff, the two co-stars giggle over secrets, spoilers, dream roles, and items stolen from set. Scott … Read more

Yet his monologue wasn’t only that: While Youssef’s comments about Palestine were clearly heartfelt and genuine, that anecdote ends with a joke about his buddy Brian’s dog.
