New footage from the cell phone of Sandra Bland showing the 2015 traffic stop which led to her arrest and subsequent imprisonment in Texas’ Waller County jail — where she was found dead of apparent suicide, hanged in her cell, three days later — has prompted Bland’s family to call for a reevaluation of her […]
One of the best things about Billy Porter is that he can make an extraordinary act — like, say, being carried into the 2019 Met Gala on a bed by six beefy men — seem like just another day on the job. On Monday night, he arrived to the event in full “Egyptian realness,” dressed […]

In Scent Memories, the Cut asks people about the scents they associate with different times in their lives. Next up is actress Jessica Szohr, who recently collaborated with luxury home fragrance brand Apotheke to […]
Back in March, nearly 50 people were charged in a nationwide college admissions scandal, in which wealthy parents paid exorbitant amounts of money in order to assure their children’s acceptance into prestigious universities like Yale, Georgetown, Stanford, as well as the University of Southern California. That the college admissions process in the United States is […]
The time has come. Lady Gaga has shed her A Star Is Born persona and brought us the campy, dramatic, over-the-top, “Poker Face”/“Bad Romance”–era Gaga we all know and love. She arrived at the 2019 Met Gala and changed three times on the red carpet. Of course, what would we expect our favorite theater-kid fashion […]
The theme of the 2019 Met Gala is camp, and the event is a celebration of art, exaggeration, irony, and love through the lens of fashion. So who better for designer Michael Kors to invite as his guest than Bette Midler, an icon of stage, film, music, and, of course, all things camp? Midler and […]
Meghan Markle has had her baby. (Shh, please do not gasp or make any noise otherwise; the baby might be sleeping.) Prince Harry (real name Henry) helped make the baby, as you may know, and his public as been awaiting the baby’s arrival since April. This new person will not have the title of Prince […]
In a matter of hours, hundreds of celebrities will descend on the Metropolitan Museum of Art dressed in their best interpretation of camp — what Susan Sontag called “the good taste of bad taste.” But while Lady Gaga and Cardi B and Billy Porter will all surely look incredible, they’re already usurped by a living […]
Cardi B wore the largest, reddest, and quite possibly heaviest red-carpet look at the Met Gala 2019. The theme for this year’s event was “camp,” which left a lot open for interpretation. Some people didn’t get it at all, Céline Dion figured it out at the last minute, and Billy Porter was clearly born ready […]
