Florence Pugh knew it was going to be a thing. At Valentino’s couture show in Rome in July this year, the 26-year-old actress wore a Barbie-pink gown with layers of tulle and a completely sheer top. Working with the designer Pierpaolo Piccioli and his team, Pugh approved the removal of its lining, eliminating any confusion over the intentionality of its transparency. “I was comfortable with my small breasts,” she tells me, while sipping a glass of rosé from a cosy countryside hotel room. “And s…

With the backing of a glittery group of entertainment-industry and tech-world heavyweights, Los Angeles’s Angel City soccer franchise is vying to transform the landscape of women’s sports.

In December 2021, Nicole Avant got a phone call that would change her life forever.

The Avant matriarch passed later that night; her death sent shockwaves of grief through a tight-knit Los Angeles community.Now, Nicole—a film producer, former U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas, and wife of Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos—has publishe…

Charles Melton sent me kimchi. The day before we are due to speak for this interview, a small package arrives at my home. In it is a mason jar filled to the brim with homemade fermented cabbage, accompanied by a handwritten note that reads: “My mother’s kimchi recipe is six generations old. We hope you enjoy it! With gratitude, Charles Melton.” I am aghast, mainly because no one in Hollywood does this.When we meet the next day, it takes no more than about 30 seconds for Melton to show me around…

It’s mid-January. Award season is well under way, and snow is dumping on Park City, Utah, which must mean: It’s time for the Sundance Film Festival. Since its founding by actor Robert Redford in 1978 as the Utah/US Film Festival, the annual event has historically championed independent films and artists. Sundance remains a launchpad for offbeat work that resonates with audiences: After premiering at the Utah fest, where it won prizes including Best Director, the Audience Award, and the Grand Jur…

In May of 2020, I froze my eggs. I was 35, single, and elective medical procedures were becoming available again following months of a complete Covid shutdown. Vaccines were nowhere in sight, and going on a date at the time meant risking, you know, your life. At a time when everything felt so unbelievably out of control, freezing my eggs felt like the most tangible way to take my future into my own hands.I counted myself among a lucky group of women. It was a privilege I could afford the procedu…

For Pacaso founder and CEO Austin Allison, starting a company that had community at its core was integral to his mission. Sure, Pacaso would be a business which allowed individuals and families to purchase second homes at a fraction of the price, but it was about something more to him — something more personal. “The idea really was sparked about 10 years ago when my wife and I purchased a second home in Lake Tahoe,” Allison tells me. “That second home really changed our lives in a positive way.…

Since the first season premiered in June of 2022, the frenetic kitchen and dynamic relationships at the heart of FX’s hit drama The Bear have dominated the airwaves and award seasons. From the very start, the series was a classic. It brought viewers into the bowels of a gritty Chicago sandwich shop and, perhaps even more poignantly, into the lives of the dysfunctional, grief-stricken, and lovable Berzatto family.Save for an eerily calm and beautifully shot first episode, the just-released season…
