After all, when I made my demo, I didn’t think I’d eventually be living in Los Angeles for love and not for music.

Her massive Moschino patty was last seen at the 2019 Met Gala—but it just resurfaced on fashion legend Karen Elson, still boasting a smear of Céline Dion’s makeup, which rubbed off during a red carpet *kiss-kiss.* “I should probably tell Katy we’re using her burger, huh?” laughs…

In sharp contrast, the Bluemarble show was urban to its cure, held amid the strict Enlightenment geometries of the gardens of the 18th-century National Archives building (where Sofia Coppola filmed a lot of “Marie Antoinette”). Crowds of fans came out to support the 28-year-old French-Filipino designer Anthony Alvarez in his seventh show, an exuberant mash-up…

In middle school I learned how to solve for the hypotenuse and identify properties of an atom, but the most enduring skill I picked up was how to gossip. Eighth grade in particular was consumed by chatter and rumors — my classmates and I had spent nine years together, witnessing one another’s staggered entrances into…
