While the paparazzi probably aren’t following you on the regular, there’s something to be said for maintaining an A-list-level of polish wherever you go (after all, you never know which ex or coworker you might run into). If you’re planning a trip this summer like much of the rest of the world, consider copying the
Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Most designers would give anything for the staying power that Issey Miyake had. The designer, who passed away at 84, straddled the worlds of avant-garde innovation and mass appeal comfortably, becoming known for his pleated separates as well as his hit
I love denim. Be it in the form of jean shorts for summer, mom jeans for weekend errands, or an oversized denim jacket for fall, denim is my tried-and-true category that never fails (even for the slightly less casual moments). Yes, I’ve been through the phases of trends; skinny jeans—which once were trendy and then
MEGA//Getty Images Julia Fox has had a busy year. She started her (and everyone else’s) 2022 with a bang with a whirlwind six-week relationship with Kanye West. Since then, she’s become a fashion icon in her own right, from opening LaQuan Smith’s NYFW show in a modern-day revenge dress to wearing a (literal) burning coat
Just when we thought our closets couldn’t get any more jam-packed with Skims goodies, the brand is back with another covetable swimwear drop as we head into the final lap of summer.

Those who know, know: With cool-girl labels like Ganni and Rotate populating the calendar, Copenhagen Fashion Week has been low-key rewriting style codes for seasons—and spring 2023 is no exception.

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. I distinctly remember meeting Gianluca Russo for the first time at a Project Runway taping several years ago. Back then, he was a young reporter whose enthusiasm for fashion was palpable. Ever since, he’s zeroed in on a specific beat: plus-size
If Daniel Roseberry’s designs came with a recipe, it would boil down to this: seasoning luxury with Surrealism. A few years ago, when the Plano, Texas-raised pastor’s son was at Thom Browne and pitching himself for the role of artistic director of the house of Schiaparelli, he’d taken a measure of what was happening on
Pierre Hardy could have been a professional dancer. But in choosing an alternate route that led him to become the creative director of shoes and fine jewelry for Hermès, he believes he’s been able to achieve many of the same aims. “What I did with dance, and what I’m doing now, is help people to
Comics censorship is an American pastime. While censorship has been raging for the last 15 months, book and comic censorship is nothing new. It’s just found new legs with the help of right-wing, white Christian nationalism led by groups like Moms For Liberty, among others. Comics, which have been long-subject to censorship in America, beginning
There’s been a small explosion of trans and nonbinary witch books recently, especially in YA, and it makes sense to me, because there is something inherently magical about queer, trans, and nonbinary lives. Yes, a lot of trans and nonbinary people have to deal with a lot of awful stuff — but all of that
What makes a story a slasher? While there’s not one all-encompassing definition, there are a few characteristics you’ll likely see if you were to put one on TV or pick up one of the best slasher books. Slashers tend to have a masked or hidden killer with a high body count. There are usually bloody
Every once in a while, something will immediately take me back to school: the smell of industrial cleaners in a warm room (no air conditioners for us!), or frost on freshly cut grass (those early PE mornings!), or standing at the doorway of a room full of strangers (relive those lunch periods!). It’s an odd
We are blessed with a world full of beautiful bookstores (if we have nothing else, at least we have that). Books are so loved and revered that we house them in stunning feats of architecture and among the most unique settings. Independent bookstores, in particular, have a range and a longevity that most franchised bookstores
Mysteries around food beautifully blend two of my favorite things in the world: food and suspense! Food is not just something that helps us live, it’s also something we turn to to cope with myriad emotions. Sometimes we eat our feelings in cupcakes, sometimes we celebrate our wins with pizza. This sub-genre of mystery novels
Florida’s election tomorrow, August 23, 2022, is a crucial one for schools across the state. Every school board has at least one seat on the ballot, and several counties also have additional school-related referendums up for vote. This election determines whether school board members will be outright elected–anyone earning over 50% of the vote will
A heartless psychopath with size-16 shoes, nursing home hookers, and an irreverent Las Vegas homicide detective with a gambling habit set the tone for this offbeat tale of revenge and retribution.

Cineworld, staggering under heavy debt and facing a dip in box office revenue this quarter, asserted Friday that it’s business as usual for the giant movie chain while it explores options.

“People are catching up on films,” is how one arthouse executive described the current moment in specialty, which echoes the slowdown in studio wide releases. August can be slow ahead of a trio of festivals – Venice, Toronto, New York – and a ramp up to awards season. It can also offer an less obstructed
Sunday AM: While Crunchyroll’s Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is coming in at the lower end of what we foresaw yesterday with $20.1M (still significantly more than what we were spotting Friday AM), Universal’s Beast grew some teeth last night, improving its 3-day from $10.1M to now $11.57M. That’s after a $4.27M Saturday that’s -1% from Friday
Continuing its hypersonic run, Paramount/Skydance’s Top Gun: Maverick has, in its 13th weekend of release, crossed the $1.4B mark worldwide, lifting the cume to a touch over $1.403B through today.

The Picturehouse release of National Geographic Documentary Films The Territory grossed a solid $26.4K in six markets (eight screens) for a PSA of $3,308 with its climate change message attracting a broader than typical age range for a theatrical doc, especially lately, according to Picturehouse CEO Bob Berney.

With no new wide Hollywood tentpole releases until October, we’re in a period of holdovers, and local titles excelling in their home markets (and beyond), while Top Gun: Maverick continues to soar and there’s a will it or won’t it question mark over Jurassic World Dominion‘s shot at getting to $1B global. Overall, it was

Wise men say only fools predict that adult-skewing films won’t work at the pandemic box office. But older moviegoers kept falling in love with Warner Bros’ Elvis this summer, to the point where it’s now director Baz Luhrmann’s highest-grossing movie ever in U.S. and Canada with $144.851 million, beating the original run of his 2013 title
