Well Played: The Obamas in Cuba

Well Played: The Obamas in Cuba

The Obamas landed in Havana yesterday, marking the first time an American president has set foot on Cuban soil since Coolidge in 1928. And I know you don't come here for an analysis of the political impact -- and indeed, please leave that at the door, as usual; times

Well Played, Kaley Cuoco

We have given Kaley Cuoco many a hard time in our day, and I am happy to say that (a) this is kind of a new look for her, and (b) it's totally cute. Let's start where all good things begin, with her shoes: I was

Well Played, Kyemah McEntyre in Kyemah McEntyre

You might recall Kyemah as the girl whose photo went viral last year when she made her own prom dress, and slayed in it. (She later did one for Naturi Naughton for the BET Awards.) This year, she's one of the headliners at BET Honors, and she again

Oscars Well Played: Nina Dobrev in Elie Saab

I've had to come to terms with the fact that -- much like with jumpsuits -- my default position on dingy, taupe tulle is going to be, "Sigh, I wish this could have been something else." But, again like with jumpsuits, it's going to exist anyway

Oscars Well Played: Chrissy Teigen

I think she looks great in BOTH of these, and also: Let this woman go home and take a nap! She did a cookbook signing last week, too. She has got to be ready to put her feet up. This, at the ceremony, was Marchesa: I like it a lot.
