Hope you've seen that k.d. lang is a vocal fan of the Portland Trail Blazers. I love watching them whoop it up on the timeline. Legend.

To me, Barry Keoghan's outfit was very Gen Z in its styling, which makes sense. That's the audience he and Saltburn are designed to appeal to. That said, I can see how some would feel like the two-tone red was a mess. My main issue with the Golden Globes this year was Rachel Brosnahan not winning "best actress in a musical or comedy TV series," because she's already won it too many years in a row. She frieking earned it. But whatever..

I get that, but he's a 31-year-old and I feel like it doesn't exactly work for him.

I was briefly a copywriter for a startup shoe brand. The higher-ups were always getting mad at stylists for dressing the male models absolutely ridiculously in every shoot.

To launch the brand, they spent an obscene amount of money to rent a castle in Italy and shot male models sprawled on sofas and chaise lounges and such. Unfortunately, they were dressed in pants that were so tight fitting and so extremely low rise that all of their crotches had to be heavily photoshopped to stop the six-figure shoot from looking like soft porn. The unedited photos were something else.

I love these musings on Golden Globe fashion--a good a.m. guffaw! When did "looking like an adult" become poison for celebrities?
