AOC is terribly lax in keeping up with fashion world’s interpersonal relationships. Last night, I clarified in my own mind that Vittoria Ceretti’s marriage ended in divorce in June 2023, which explains her dating Leonardo DiCaprio.
Today, I just came up to speed in my obsessive verification mode that Bottega’s Matthew Blazy and Alaïa’s Pieter Mulier are now ‘just friends’. Why I don’t know this fact has an interesting story behind it.
Anne: Mind Over Matter
I was so annoyed with Vanessa Friedman fawning over Matthew Blazy with an interior headline calling him ‘The Anti-Pharrell’ that I stopped reading the article two-thirds of the way through — right before the Blazy-Mulier news.
LOL, what can I say. Anne is Pharrell’s Oyadeas godmother, and commentary like Friedman’s just makes me dig in my stilletos with greater conviction. Observe Julianne Moore in the divine image above by Craig McDean [IG], who is just rockin’ fabulous with these photographs.
That was me reading Friedman’s not-for-the-first-time digs at Pharrell, saying “Don’t do it, Anne. Do NOT go after Vanessa Friedman, Anne. You will regret this move. You are not in her highbrow league. You’re an ‘of the people’ woman . . . just a girl from Minnesota. Stay in your lane, Anne.”
Thankfully, I listened to my own inner voice, but it was damn difficult.
Today: Julianne Moore in ‘May December’
Julianne Moore plays Gracie in the Todd Haynes-directed film ‘May December’ about a long-married, but once-notorious Savannah, Georgia couple. Gracie, then 36, seduced her husband Joe Yoo, then age 13 and a schoolmate of her son Georgie. Their sexual union resulted in Gracie giving birth in prison.
Two decades later, now parents to Honor, who is at college, and twins Charlie and Mary, who are about to graduate from high school, Hollywood knocks on the door of their private lives.
Natalie Portman, as actor Elizabeth Berry, playing the role of Gracie in the upcoming film about the scandal, arrives in Savannah to better understand her character.
The result is psychological and emotional havoc unleashed in the lives of Gracie and Joe, and their orbit of friends and family. Berry ignites turmoil in her pursuit of a very tabu reality through the lens of both our modern lives and sexual values, as well as the informed lives of Gracie and Joe, when the original ‘sin’ happened at the pet store where they both worked.
Tomorrow: Julianne Moore in ‘Mary & George’
2024 sees Moore as the “ruthless bisexual countess Mary Villiers, who rose through snarls of conflicting interests in the English court by engineering her son’s affair with King James I.”
“I’m not an adventure-tales person,” Moore tells AnOther. “I don’t care if they get on a boat and sail across the ocean. I want stories about relationships and families. Human drama.”
