Happy New Year! Did you celebrate? We chucked any and all semblance of effort, blinked boredly at a couple of the TV specials, and went to bed at 12:30. Aren’t we EXCITING? But, I’d rather have been in my living room than at any of those televised parties. HOO BOY. I hope those don’t superspread all over the place, although I guess omicron is doing plenty of that already.

Miley Cyrus threw a party in Miami with Pete Davidson — something about this pairing seems so right to me — and unfortunately we didn’t get photos from it, but Miley did post one of her outfits on Instagram:

I love the color, and those orange shoes. And her legs remain a thing of inspiration.

Amanda Gorman supposedly popped by CNN, but I can’t deal with that much Andy Cohen so we only turned it on with 10 minutes to go. Here she is:

She is a gem, and she sparkled like one. Amanda released a poem, New Day’s Lyric, on Dec. 31, in which she wrote, “[O]ur hearts, once all together beaten // Now all together beat.” I hope so. You can watch her deliver it on Instagram.

Finally, this was not televised, but I could not resist:

What a great jacket on Michelle. Etro had a big year, and that’s one heck of an ending/beginning for that brand.
