On Monday night, Mayor Pete Buttigieg sat at a long table at Cipriani South Street flanked by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and actress Tiffany Haddish. It was not the Democratic presidential candidate’s usual crowd, although he does have quite the celebrity fan base. “I’m so pleased to be here, even if this room gives me […]
The Thai royal court has been consumed by scandal this week. On Monday — just a few short months after he named 34-year-old Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi as his official royal consort — King Vajiralongkorn, 67, announced that he was stripping her of her title. In an order, he wrote that she was “disloyal,” “ungrateful,” and trying […]
Like Sean Spicer and Steve Bannon before her, former U.S. secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen has officially launched her comeback tour. Nielsen, who famously enforced and defended the Trump administration’s memo ordering the forced separation of migrant families, was invited to speak at Fortune magazine’s “Most Powerful Women” summit on Tuesday.

The line wrapped around the block half an hour into Nordstrom’s flagship NYC store party opening. The crowd — dressed in designer and clutching umbrellas — was undeterred. Once inside, the brand new, shiny flagship was a packed wonderland. The store is five stories tall in Columbus Circle, but the inside is cavernous. It almost […]
At Noho’s La Galleria at La MaMa, the art currently on display springs from an unlikely source: Each is a physical representation of a healing ceremony undertaken by female survivors of domestic violence. The exhibition, “Divine Breath NYC,” brings Colombian artist Ruby Rumié’s project of the same name to a new audience — and a […]
We live in an era of decision fatigue so I’m not sure I have any strength left to cope with the latest hairstyle celebrities have resurrected from the grave. It’s flirty and fun and you know it pretty well: That flippy ended look that gives you the bounce of slo-mo shampoo and conditioner commercials of […]
Pricey athleisure company Lululemon is the latest fashion brand to come under fire for allegedly mistreating some of its garment workers.
