On Friday, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky walked through New York City in their casual date night style, which is high fashion for most other people. The beauty mogul was wearing a pair of baggy thigh-high suede boots by Y/Project that slouched around her legs as she strutted past photographers, an over-sized vintage T-shirt by RZA, and an adorable frayed black denim mini skirt by R13 that just brushed the top of the boots. For accessories, she went vintage again with a green Gucci snakeskin bag, bangles, several chains, and thin...

The best scary movies hold up a mirror to society—perhaps that explains why Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, the latest cool-kid horror film from A24, has become an immediate sensation. Set at a palatial country house amid a coming storm, the satirical film follows a group of vicious, privileged 20-somethings who converge at their friend David’s (a perfectly cast Pete Davidson) parents’ McMansion for a “hurricane party.” As the rain sets in, the group decides to play Bodies, Bodies, Bodies—a party game where a player selected as the “murderer” must tag and...

I couldn’t tell you how—or where or when—I first started watching Claudia Sulewski online, but I do know that, for the longest time, I kept it a secret. It wasn’t that Sulewski was doing anything particularly nefarious; on the contrary, since she started posting YouTube videos in November 2009, you could categorize Sulewski’s corner of the internet as one of its more positive neighborhoods. But back in the early 2010s, when I must’ve stumbled upon her burgeoning lifestyle channel, YouTube content creation was still in its infancy. There were no...

It’s true, dreams don’t die—especially Netflix’s dreams of turning The Sandman into a years-long sci-fi/fantasy franchise, ideally set to rival Stranger Things when the latter draws to a close next season. But part of what has transformed Stranger Things into such a titan of the streaming landscape is its lead ensemble’s chemistry, a charm that The Sandman’s central protagonist, Dream (Tom Sturridge), lacks by design. It’s not that the anthropomorphic realization of all our sleeping hours can’t be charming; it’s that he’s not convinced charm befits a lord, a ruler,...
