It all began this way: What was the last track Zegler listened to? “My hairstylist, Clay, is playing some random jazz. He mentioned it made us feel more refined,” she responded. The actors erupted into laughter before addressing more questions about their daily routines (while in New York, Blyth never left his home without his motorcycle keys); things they kept—or wished they kept—from the set (Zegler surprisingly didn’t keep a single thing from West Side Story); and their top red carpet looks from the Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes press tour. During the conversation, we find out that Blyth named one of Coryo’s wigs Alphonse; Zegler’s Dior haute couture gown at the London premiere was a nod to Katniss during the parade in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire; and they both agree that Hunter Schafer is among the most gorgeous people on the planet. (It takes one to know one!)

Zegler, who’s been a musical theater fan her whole life, and Blyth, a graduate of Juilliard, also recounted audition horror stories (one featured an inappropriate lunch order; the other involved singing “I Wan’na Be like You” from the Jungle Book); clarified the distinction between “french fries” and “potato chips”; and decided on the ultimate movie villain of all time — excluding Donald Sutherland as Coriolanus Snow, obviously. See the complete content above. This year is a remarkable year for short hairstyles. Pixies, mixies, bobs, and everything in between, we’ve seen a range of styles in 2023, and the most sought-after cut in London salons right now is a new trend known as the “soft cut”.

“The soft cut is an elegant, almost mature take on a timeless classic,” explains Francesca Inverarity, hairstylist and colorist at The Hair Bros. “The look is as pristine as if it just came out of the store.” It’s characterized by its flowing silhouette and resembles Linda Evangelista’s iconic crop top style from the ’90s. While you might think a cut like this is rather simplistic, experts note that the soft edges and length of this style allow for surprisingly adaptable styling. “You can wear it swept to the side and pushed back for a playful, Gen Z feel; brushed forward to create the illusion of fuller hair; or with clips and accessories,” Inverarity said. “Think Iris Law or Drew Barrymore in the ‘90s.” All you need is a texturizing spray – whether it’s Oribe or Amika’s renowned Un.done Volume and Matte Text Spray – to achieve a natural, tousled finish or a gel to establish a sleek, shiny base. Inverarity recommends Bumble & Bumble’s Sumogel for its shine and hold.
New York City’s most renowned eateries have long operated like semi-private clubs, even if you weren’t aware. Nines has a special number for reservations, as do Balthazar and Minetta Tavern. There are notification emails for Polo Bar and a special status for elusive reservations on Resy. For the room behind Emilio’s house? You need to be well-acquainted with Emilio. Sure, money can get you into these places. The Amex Black and Platinum cards offer booking privileges. Dorsia promises you access with a substantial minimum spend. It’s always been a classic to slip a stack of cash to the manager. However, entry is predominantly granted through a blend of cult status, cash, and influence. Visit frequently, bring a trendy crowd, and lay down your cards? Your table is this way.
So it’s perhaps no shocker that Major Food Group’s Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick, and Rich Torrisi — the founders of Carbone, the crown jewel of the city’s social dining scene — opted to openly declare the exclusivity. Last week, their second location debuted in Hudson Yards. But it’s only for an exclusive few: ZZ’s Club, which boasts two restaurants, ZZ’s and the Japanese-centric Carbone Privato, is members-only. The cost to join? An initiation fee of $20,000, followed by an annual fee of $10,000. If that figure seems steep, it is: New York City’s median income is $70,663, meaning ZZ’s is exclusively for the upper echelon of the world’s wealthiest individuals.
