First things first: What is the Met Gala? Officially, it’s the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute benefit, a black-tie extravaganza held the first Monday in May to raise money for the Costume Institute. Unofficially, it’s “the party of the year,” “the Oscars of the East Coast” and “an A.T.M. for the Met” (the last…
Ms. Stewart’s attitude about makeup is reflective of her generation: It’s basic, an essential. Her response when asked if she wears makeup while spending time at her swimming pool was: “A touch of blush and then lips. That’s not makeup. I consider that skin care.” Beyond Clé de Peau, she plays the field when it…
No occasion grants celebrities the chance to peacock with quite the unbridled excess of the annual Met Gala; even the Oscars red carpet can’t compete as fashion’s biggest night.

The single most fascinating thing about the N.B.A. playoffs hasn’t been, “Were the Nets ever really a team?” Or: “Whose death wish is better: Charles Bronson’s or Philly’s?” It’s not even: “Lord. What. Is. Ben Simmons. Wearing. To-night?” The single most fascinating thing about the last two…

Mr. Musk’s Twitter, much like his money, works in ways that others’ do not. He follows only 114 accounts, but his tweets usually receive tens of thousands of replies apiece, and often many more. He opens his Twitter app to what is quite likely the busiest notifications tab on the entire service, representing millions of…
My boyfriend (of eight months) and I are deeply in love. He frequently talks of marriage and our future together. We’re in our late 60s, but because of geographic distance we only get to spend a few hours together every week — and never at his house. Why? He lives with his cruel ex-wife who…
