  • Dakota Johnson Can’t Decide in New ‘Materialists’ Trailer

    6 days ago | vulture.com | Fran Hoepfner

    Me trying to decide which guy to end up while figuring life out in New York City. Does Celine Song want to bring back the romantic comedy? That’s the apparent vibe in the May 8 trailer for her new film, Materialists, out on June 13. Her latest stars Dakota Johnson as a sardonic (likely thing for her to be) matchmaker (only in the movies!) trying to decide between a rough-and-tumble ex played by Chris Evans and a penthouse-owning private-equity type played by Pedro Pascal.

The multi-hyphenate showed up on the blue carpet in custom Burberry in collaboration with his own menswear line, Benji Bixby, styled by none other than blond Law Roach, confirming his status as one of the most effortlessly cool people living and working right now.

  • Wait, There Are a Lot of Exes at the Met Gala This Year

    1 week ago | vulture.com | Fran Hoepfner

    Yeah, that was almost ten years ago. The Met Gala is stressful no matter what: You have to adhere to a theme, you have to fit into an outfit, you have to be able to walk in the outfit, and you have to remember how your outfit goes with the theme and be able to say as much on camera for all of 14 seconds. Now imagine that on top of all of that, your ex is standing about 20 feet away from you.
