Pin1925 Vermutería Bar and Restaurant – Barcelona, Spain

It’s TUESDAY, dammit. Let’s gather in a cozy-fabulous bar and drink soothing things all day long. Come on, you can’t have better plans than that. Tell them you’re running late. Tell them you have the sniffles. Tell them you need a mental health day. We’ll start the tab.

Glamour, grit and awards season gold: inside Rose Byrne’s leading lady moment
She calls herself ‘just another Brooklyn mom’. The Oscar nomination says something different. This awards season, Rose Byrne holds the spotlight – on screen and on the red carpet
Move over, Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman – those other uber-talented Australian beauties who’ve made it in the States (and covered this magazine). It’s Rose’s era now. A week or so after the Globes, as an Arctic-level deep freeze blasts the northeastern coast, I’m searching for the woman of the moment in a Brooklyn café, where she has agreed to meet for an interview. I walk right past her, then backtrack. With a beige knit cap pulled down to her ears, Byrne is swathed under several layers of wool, a look hardly presenting as movie star. ‘I’m just another Brooklyn mom,’ the New South Wales-born star says with a laugh as we sit. Feel free to raise an eyebrow.

Is There Merit to an Awards Season Red Carpet Dress Code? The 2026 SAG Actor Awards Suggest Not
For the first time in the history of the SAG Awards, Sunday night’s ceremony came with a red carpet dress code. Coinciding with the show’s rebrand to the Actor Awards, the powers that be issued a sartorial brief: “Reimagining Hollywood Glamour from the ’20s and ’30s.” But as guests shuffled onto the red carpet, a question emerged: Was the theme really necessary?

How Quinta Brunson Found Her Balance at the Actor Awards 2026
The Abbott Elementary star played with her fun and serious sides in Gabriela Hearst.
Quinta Brunson is something of a pro at awards shows by now. With five seasons of her hit sitcom Abbott Elementary under her belt, she’s certainly been to quite a few—enough to have favorites.
The Actor Awards, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, it turns out, tops her list. The Abbott Elementary cast, which was nominated for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series this year, won in the same category for its first season back in 2022, after all.
“It’s really nice just celebrating the rest of the acting community specifically,” Brunson told Vanity Fair over the phone on Friday. “There’s just something really sweet about this award show to me.”

How to style Mary Jane shoes with jeans, tights and socks
It’s all about embracing the inherent innocence of the dolly shoes.
Whether they were part of your school uniform or just your childhood Barbie’s choice of footwear, Mary Jane shoes have an undeniable aura of nostalgia. With a buckled strap running across its instep, this shoe comes with an implicit sense of childlike innocence. But how do you style them as an adult living in 2026? As we slowly enter spring – also known as the golden era of Mary Janes – this classic piece should be on your radar as a perfect shoe to wear with looks that fall somewhere between masculine and feminine, evening and daytime, casual and formal.

This nostalgic Noughties drama is now available on Netflix
And what’s this about… a sequel?
You’ll never guess which beloved teen drama has just landed on Netflix for your viewing pleasure.
Think basketball. Think misunderstood outsider. Think a quirky, artistic girl with a knack for turning emotional turmoil into beautiful poetry.
First hitting our screens in 2003, the teen drama has rarely stayed far from pop culture conversation, resurfacing regularly on social media — perhaps prompting the streaming decision.

Industry season 4 soundtrack: All the songs that feature in the new episodes
The latest season of the hit BBC show features everything from New Order to Prodigy, Ultravox and Enya.
Industry season 4 has officially ended – and boy did that final episode pack a lot of punch!
As with seasons past, the fourth instalment of the HBO hit focuses on a real-life political moment: the ushering in of the new Labour government and the Online Safety Act.
Simultaneously, what seems to be a straightforward business venture for Yasmin (Marisa Abela) and her husband Henry Muck (Kit Harrington) soon reveals itself to be far more toxic – with Whitney Halberstram’s (Max Minghella) fintech start-up, Tender, actually being a cover for all kinds of international crimes. […] Thankfully, the show has been renewed for a fifth and final season. It also has a pretty decent soundtrack to accompany all the financial drama. So, if you were wondering, here are all the tracks (you’re welcome).

How to style granny shorts, the unexpected It-girl trend of Spring 2026
Nonnacore is going strong.
Believe it or not, Granny shorts, aka Bermuda shorts, are experiencing a real resurgence this spring. Yes, long baggy shorts are cool now. And it’s a good thing. What could be more comfy or more practical? Your first consideration? Shoes. Certain shoes can elevate granny shorts, making them more of a sophisticated modern statement. Others can leave you looking like you’re drowning in your grandma’s clothes.

Viola Davis Wore Two Different Bobs in the Same Weekend
Proof that the bob is versatile.
Viola Davis is a woman of many talents. She’s a seasoned actress, she’s an EGOT winner, and she also just reminded me that you can never run out of ways to style a bob.
On Feb. 28, Davis appeared at the 57th NAACP Image Awards in Los Angeles, where she was honored and presented with the Chairman’s Award. She showed up wearing a strapless, deep burgundy Marmar Halim gown that featured a thigh-high split and a matching cape, but it was her hair and makeup that blew me away. The bob has become a go-to hairstyle for Davis while attending red carpet events over the last few years, but the bob she wore on Saturday was much different from the others. This time around, her hair was jet black, and it was cut into a very blunt bob that stopped just above her chin. It also featured a set of thick blunt bangs to match. Per Instagram, her hair for the night was styled by celebrity hairstylist, Jamika Wilson.

This Is the Exact Shade of Red Nail Polish Carolyn Bessette Kennedy Wears in ‘Love Story’
Bonus? It’s a drugstore staple.
I am deep in the throes of watching Love Story on FX, and just like the entirety of the Marie Claire team, Sarah Pidgeon’s minimalist ’90s wardrobe has completely hypnotized me. Roll neck sweaters! Slinky slip dresses! LL Bean boat totes! But it’s not just her fashion choices that are causing a stir among the aesthetically-minded set. As the late Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, Pidgeon’s glam is equally swoon-worthy, from the signature buttery blonde shade of her long, cool-girl hair, to the already-iconic opening sequence in episode one wherein a relentless pack of paparazzi swarms outside of her nail appointment. During the anxiety-inducing scene, CBK receives a bright, blood-red manicure on short, rounded nails, flashbulbs popping in the background, before hastily asking her nail tech to switch to an unproblematic nude color.

Why Rose Byrne’s Chanel Dress for the Actor Awards Red Carpet Is Style “Serendipity”
For her first-ever nomination, the ‘If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You’ star followed her runway instincts.
To make the 2026 Actor Awards best-dressed list, nominees like If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You star Rose Byrne needed to ace a very specific assignment: following the inaugural dress code, “Reimagining Hollywood Glamour from the ’20s and ’30s.” With stylist Kate Young and Chanel’s latest Métiers d’Art collection on her side, Byrne didn’t have to sweat meeting the vintage-inspired requirements. In a moment, she calls “serendipity”: the gown she chose weeks in advance of the surprise dress code’s reveal was a perfect fit.
“We had already settled on my look for the night before we knew about the theme,” Byrne tells me while she’s getting ready for the red carpet. A hair dryer that will style her bob into loose, “model off-duty” waves is blowing full-force in the background, but even that can’t drown out Byrne’s excitement to slip into her Chanel dress.

17 Green Nail Ideas for St. Patrick’s Day and Beyond
Your luckiest mani yet
Whether you’re excited for spring or celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, March is the the perfect time to gather up your favorite green nail ideas. After a long winter (with too many moody manicures to count), green nails are the perfect way to ease into a new season. Although it might feel like a statement shade to the neutral nail crowd, green nails are also surprisingly versatile.
The biggest manicure trends of 2026 work particularly with shades of green. Try a dark green nail polish for a sophisticated vibe, or command more attention with an emerald cat eye or swirly matcha set. Prefer to mix and match your shades? Green pairs especially well with light pink—an easy way to dress up your go-to ballet slipper mani for the holiday.

Dakota Johnson in Three Incestuous Sisters: Everything We Know About the New Movie
Saoirse Ronan, Jessie Buckley, and Josh O’Connor have also signed on for the project.
The title is Three Incestuous Sisters, and it doesn’t get more normal from there. A less well-known illustrated fable from Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler’s Wife, is getting the big screen treatment 20 years after publication, and some major talents have signed on, both in front of and behind the camera. As the name suggests, the story follows three sisters, but if you’re thinking it’s a sexploitation pic…well…that remains to be seen.
Key details are being kept under wraps, but here’s what we know so far.

Parker Posey Is Only Interested in Fashion That Mixes Humor and Feminism
“Piper, nooo! Tsunami! Buddhism!”
You could hear the crowds screaming these quotes to Parker Posey as she hit the 2026 SAG Actor Awards red carpet last night: iconic lines that her character Victoria Ratliff delivered on season three of The White Lotus, of course. It’s this titular role that earned Posey a nomination for outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama series. (The show was also nominated for best ensemble.) “It feels great,” Posey tells Vogue of the recognition yesterday evening. “To be recognized by my peers feels sweet and supportive. It’s been nice to feel like part of a community.”

The 11 Best International Chip Flavors to Try, According to a Snack Expert
From cumin lamb to fried egg, these chips will take you on a tour of global flavors.
For many people who grew up in the United States, childhood snacks often included a standard selection of the same chip flavors: barbecue, sour cream and onion, salt and vinegar, cheddar cheese, and perhaps the occasional jalapeño. Head to most major American grocery chains today to pick up a bag of chips for a party, and you’ll encounter similar options. But the wide world of chips is far more expansive — and creative — than the usual lineup at your local Walmart would suggest.

Zendaya’s Mom Claire Stoermer Reacts to Law Roach’s Claim That Her Daughter Married Tom Holland
Holland and Zendaya met in 2016 after being cast in ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’
Zendaya’s mom Claire Stoermer is reacting to stylist Law Roach’s claim that her daughter married Tom Holland.
Stoermer reposted the clip of Roach, 47, speaking with Entertainment Tonight about the couple’s wedding on her Instagram Stories on Monday, March 2. “The laugh…” Stoermer captioned the clip, adding a laughing emoji.
In the video, filmed on the red carpet at the 2026 Actor Awards on Sunday, March 1, the actress’ longtime stylist said, “The wedding has already happened,” teasing, “You missed it.”

BAFTAs host Alan Cumming calls it a ‘s‑‑‑show’ after N-word debacle: ‘We were all let down’
Cumming originally apologized for attendee John Davidson, who has Tourette’s, shouting the slur toward Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo during the ceremony.
Alan Cumming is finally breaking his silence over a 2026 BAFTA Awards attendee shouting the N-word toward presenters Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan from the crowd.
“It’s now a week since I hosted the BAFTAs. What should have been an evening celebrating creativity as well as diversity and inclusion turned into a trauma triggering s‑‑‑show,” he wrote on Instagram in a four-slide post featuring pictures of him hosting the ceremony overlaid with text.

Tourette’s charity slams SNL for mocking BAFTAs racial slur incident with cut-for-time sketch: ‘It is not a joke’
“Mocking a disability is never acceptable,” said Tourette’s Action CEO Emma McNally.
Saturday Night Live is facing a wave of backlash over its controversial Tourette’s sketch about the racial slur incident at last weekend’s BAFTA Film Awards.
One week after Scottish campaigner John Davidson, who has Tourette syndrome, shouted the N-word while actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were presenting an award onstage, SNL jumped into the conversation with a PSA–inspired bit that sees several divisive figures blame their bad behavior on their own so-called Tourette’s syndrome. The sketch, which was cut for time and didn’t make the Saturday night broadcast, was posted on social media the following day and swiftly condemned by several viewers.

The One Cleaning Product Experts Say to Stop Using Right Now
Less fragrance, more function.
Who doesn’t want a fresh-smelling home? But take care: You want your home to actually be clean—not just smell like it. In fact, a heavily perfumed approach can actually work against you. Strongly scented all-purpose sprays and air fresheners can leave behind residue, diminish indoor air quality, and mask the very odors that signal something still needs attention.

The Right Way to Steam Clean a Microwave—in Mere Minutes
Let steam do the scrubbing.
Cleaning any kitchen appliance is rarely a sought-after task. Depending on the who, what, and how, it can be a tedious, potentially time-consuming chore. Still, cleaning your microwave is essential for health and safety, and, luckily, it’s not all that difficult. In fact, steam cleaning takes just a few minutes of active time, and the microwave almost cleans itself during this process.

This Is the Most Beautiful Capital City in Europe, According to Travelers—and No, It’s Not Paris or Rome
As they say, beauty is in the eye of 3 million travel reviews.
Beauty, as the saying goes, is in the eye of the beholder. But if you want your next vacation to be a feast for your eyes, then you might have to trust the opinions of your fellow travelers.
In December, private tour company Luxury France Tours released a study that focused on the “most beautiful” capitals in Europe. For its report, it analyzed 3 million Tripadvisor reviews for more than 46 capitals, scraping them for beauty-related keywords, including “beautiful” and “stunning.” It then ranked each capital by the percentage of reviews that used these terms.

Canada’s Only ‘Desert’ Is Also One of Its Most Exciting Wine Regions—Here’s How to Explore It
In British Columbia’s semi-arid South Okanagan, desert landscapes meet world-class wineries.
Though Canada’s only desert ecosystem is centered around Osoyoos, wine lovers often explore it together with nearby Oliver, as both towns share an arid climate, sun-soaked landscapes, and a long agricultural history, making this stretch one of the country’s most distinctive wine regions. Here’s what you need to know about why the Oliver–Osoyoos corridor consistently produces some of Canada’s most characterful wines and how to navigate it, straight from local winemakers.
