We had moved there from New York more or less on impulse a few months ago, and we soon learned that there wasn’t much to do in town after dark.

Welcome back to Strongly Endorses, our occasional feature on the everyday things that celebrities are really into. Robert Pattinson has endorsed Dior’s best-selling Homme fragrance for more than a decade at this point, but when he tapped in with GQ over Zoom, he still can’t put the nuances of different aromas into words. “I just don't have any of the language to describe scent at all,” he said. “I even have like, press notes, of what to say.

Andy Warhol is best known for those Campbell’s soup cans, I guess, but he was also something much cooler: an arbiter of taste in the watch world.

Oct 29, 2024 | gq.com | Chris Cohen

No candidate has ever made protecting reproductive rights as central to a presidential run as Kamala Harris. Though the Democrats as a party have almost fully moved away from the equivocal “safe, legal, and rare” posture favored by Bill Clinton into a more straightforward defense of abortion, the Harris campaign has gone further, making the issue central to the campaign’s closing message (and a major theme of a recent rally with Beyoncé).

Julia Gaeta says of her new EP “Blur Divine is one of the things I’m most proud of in my life so far.
