Kate Middleton Is Ready for Party Season in Emerald Velvet
Party season is well and truly on the horizon—and Kate Middleton, for one, looks ready. The Princess of Wales arrived at the Royal Albert Hall for the Royal Variety Performance on Wednesday night, wearing a form-fitting velvet dress in an impossibly festive shade of green.

Carrying a glittering clutch to echo her diamond chandelier earrings, and with her signature blow-dried waves tumbling over her shoulders, Kate’s look perfectly…

It Established South Korea’s Fashion Identity. Now, Wooyoungmi Is Ready for More
It’s a fall evening in Seoul, and a small group of Korean dancers dressed in traditional black and white robes are clanging brass gongs and chanting at the entrance to Wooyoungmi’s sleek new flagship. The crowd follows the procession through the imposing front doors and upstairs to a large space, where, on a table surrounded by pyramids of glossy persimmons, sits an offering of a pig’s head. As the music crescendos, a line of guests offer up envelopes of money, which they place into the swine’s open mouth before bowing. A common ritual in Korea known as gosa, it is held to cleanse bad vibes and bring good fortune to…

Jade Is Reborn—And Ready to Turn Anything Into a Bop
Since then, Jade has followed up the song with even more infectious singles, like the club-worthy “FUFN (Fuck You For Now)” and “Fantasy,” a disco-heavy hit that makes you want to beeline for Studio 54 (with a glamorous video directed by David LaChapelle, no less). Amid a sea of rising pop girls (Sabrina! Chappell!) and enduring pop divas (Gaga! Beyoncé!), Jade exists somewhere beautifully in between—and has used that space to home in on her voice. So, how would Jade describe her sound now? “It’s chaotic, Frankenstein pop. It’s theatrical, it’s big and noisy—and it’s me.” Here, Jade discusses turning sadness and stress into bops, escaping the grasps of girl-group…

Ty Haney Is Ready to Give Outdoor Voices Another Go
The teaser worked as planned. On Monday, Haney is officially announcing that she’s back at Outdoor Voices as founder, partner and co-owner, alongside the team at Consortium, led by managing partner Cory Baker, who first got in touch before it was announced last year that his company bought Outdoor Voices for an undisclosed sum. “I thought that was quite cool, because he wasn’t asking me necessarily to rejoin, but he wanted to put it on my radar because he very much saw me as a core part of the Outdoor Voices vision,” Haney says. She’s been working with Consortium on returning to OV since last August. She doesn’t consider it…

Getting Ready for the 2025 ESPY Awards With the UConn Women’s Basketball Team
The University of Connecticut’s women’s basketball squad is up for best team at the 2025 ESPY Awards tonight, but for all intents and purposes, they’re already winners. In April, the Huskies won the NCAA National Championship, representing the program’s 12th title under legendary head coach Geno Auriemma. Led by current WNBA rookie Paige Bueckers, however—who, over the course of five seasons at UConn, became one of the most dominant, visible, and beloved players in women’s basketball—the 2024-2025 team garnered unprecedented popularity. Whether crushing their competition, capitalizing on NIL deals, or sharing TikToks that went viral within moments of being posted, they had legions of enthusiastic fans cheering them on. “There’s…

8 Hotels Where Celebrities Stay to Get Ready for the Met Gala
Whether you know it as the Oscars of fashion or the biggest party of the year, the Met Gala is, as my colleague Laird Borrelli-Persson has previously written, the “hottest ticket in town.” This year, the starry event is back on the first Monday in May, and celebrities are beginning to turn towards New York City for the evening of mesmerizing fashion. If you’re anything like us, you’re probably champing at the bit for the exhibition, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” to open on May 10, which will examine dandy style and the exchange between clothing and the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora. Perhaps you’ll happen to be…

On Their New Album ‘Revengeseekerz,’ Jane Remover Is Ready to Blow Up
A year ago, you could have looked at Remover’s career and traced a trajectory of increasing maturity. You could follow the throughline from the extremely online electronic chaos of their early releases—which cut across everything from goofy meme rap to the sample-heavy “Dariacore” genre Remover themselves invented—to the “grown-up” indie rock of Census Designated. “I mean, that’s literally how I branded it, I was like, ‘It’s time for me to grow up,’” Remover says, with a raised eyebrow. “Mind you, I was like 19.” Revengeseekerz, on the other hand, deliberately complicates that narrative. Even if the sound harks back to the music that made their name, it’s a step forward…
