Supermodel Gigi Hadid continues her media rollout in support of her top-5 ranked Netflix show ‘Next in Fashion’ Season 2. Hadid replaces Alexa Chung from Season 1 as co-host with ‘Queer Eye’s’ Tan France.

An Alluring Gigi Hadid Covers 'M Le magazine du Monde' by Karim Sadli

Supermodel Gigi Hadid covers the March 3, 2023 issue of M Le magazine du Monde, as her ‘Next in Fashion - Season 2’ Netflix series trends in the Top 5. Hadid has joined Tan France as the co-host in the show. Gigi made the announcement last night on IG to her 77 million followers.

M Le magazine notes that Gigi, her sister Bella, Kylie Jenner [who books 277 milion followers] and Hailey Bieber are far more than models. Their omnipresence explains their attractiveness to luxury houses, making them ambassadors with notoriety equaling — if not exceeding — that of successful actresses or singers.

We learn Gigi’s complete name of Jelena Noura Hadid and the desire of French photographer Karim Sadid [IG] and stylist Carlos Nazario to present her in the fashion story with minimum artifice. AOC adds also her sensuality, as Gigi Hadid rolls out the most alluring images we’ve seen of her in years.

Tár Star Cate Blanchett Covers AnOther Magazine SS2023, Lensed By Harley Weir

Tár Star Cate Blanchett Covers AnOther Magazine SS2023, Lensed By Harley Weir

Superstar actor Cate Blanchett returns, this time in AnOther Magazine’s Spring-Summer 2023 issue, lensed by Harley Weir [IG]. The actor is styled by Robbie Spencer in Alexander McQueen, Gabriela Hearst, Issey Miyake, Junya Watanabe, Steve O Smith, Y/Project and more.

Blanchett talks to The Argonauts author Maggie Nelson about power, ambiguity – and her award-winning performance as Lydia Tár. The highly-acclaimed film is struggling at the box office. And even some reviewers find the film to be a gut punch.

Marin Alsop is an American conductor, the first woman to win the Koussevitzky Prize for conducting and the first conductor to be awarded a MacArthur Fellowship — the latter regarded to be in near-Nobel Prize prestige.

The Guardian writes: “Tár, the US conductor told the Sunday Times, was “anti-woman” and a personal affront. The film could have told the story of a rapacious male monster, but chose instead to make its lead a female conductor. “To have an opportunity to portray a woman in that role and to make her an abuser,” Alsop said. “For me, that was heartbreaking.”’

Blanchett is heavily favored to take a Best Actress Award for Tár at the Oscars. Cate has already locked down a Golden Globes Best Actress award and also a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
