Good sleep: We all crave it, but only a select few can go whole, eight-hour nights without needing to pop a melatonin gummy or rob themselves of sight by way of a sleep mask. And though there’s no shortage of sleep products on the market that aid in what TikTok has dubbed “sleepmaxxing,” we’ll let you in on a little secret — sometimes, all it takes to reset your sleep routine is upgrading the sheets under your body. Each time summer comes along, like clockwork, the fashion-forward among us start planning out wardrobe overhauls and pinpointing all the new designer collections their closets are missing. Beds deserve the same kind of seasonal refresher: in the form of bedding that looks chic and also works with your sleep goals in mind. And what better time for all that than Memorial Day Weekend, when leading h...

On Wednesday night, American Ballet Theatre brought a taste of the Metropolitan Opera House to Cipriani 42nd Street. The ballet company headed to the midtown venue for its annual spring gala, with dancers — and a ballet — in tow. The evening kicked off the upcoming summer season while raising support for the company, and paid tribute to longtime supporter Katie Holmes. Guests included ballet and theater lovers, including “Hadestown” creator Anaïs Mitchell, Timothée Chalamet’s mother Nicole Flender, choreographer Anne Imhof, Constance Wu, Zac Posen, Fernando Garcia, Iris Apatow, Jeremiah Brent and Nate Berkus, Katie Couric, Michael and Victoria Imperioli, and more. The ABT company dancers were the first to arrive, walking the red carpet in black-tie before heading backstage to change into costume for their performance of “Don Quixote.” The popular ballet has been restaged by ABT artistic director Susan Jaffe for the summer seaso...

A few hours after “Ragtime” claimed five Drama League awards last Friday, Ben Levi Ross was back in his dressing room at the Lincoln Center Theater, and getting ready to continue doing the work that has established the musical as an awards season frontrunner.  “I just keep saying to myself, ‘Even though you’re tired, take everything in, take every second in, keep your eyes open, look around,’” says Ross. “Because this is rare, and this does not happen all the time.’” In fact, it’s the 28-year-old actor’s being nominated (and eligible) for a Tony award. In recent weeks, he won Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards for his featured performance in the musical. May has proven to be particularly busy for the “Ragtime” cast, who continue to take the stage for eight performances each week. The afternoon before the Drama League Awards, which jointly honors the Broadway and off-Broadway communities in New York, Ross attended a Tonys ...

Penélope Cruz opted for Chanel’s contemporary elegance for the “La Bola Negra” red carpet premiere at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival on Thursday in France. Penélope Cruz Getty Images The Oscar-winning actress sported a sleek black gown with asymmetry as a main motif from the French luxury fashion house. The one-shoulder dress included a thigh-high slit and wisps of sheer black fabric to create an even more dynamic look. At the shoulder and top of the thigh-high slit, explosive feathery appliqués, featured in both the fall and spring 2026 collections, created even more textural tension for the contemporary design. Cruz went minimalist with her jewelry pieces, save for a pair of statement silver earrings and wore pointed-toe black heels to complete her attire. Penélope Cruz Getty Image...

Connor Swindells was being “particularly British” when he tried to play it cool with a bit of self-deprecating humor, after receiving the Trophée Chopard at the Cannes Film Festival. The honor, awarded annually to emerging actors with a strong track record of picking Oscar-winners-to-be. But Swindells admitted the weight of the recognition only fully hit him once the whirlwind of the previous evening began. “I didn’t quite realize how special it was until it was all kicking off,” he said. “Then I was suddenly very, very anxious.” Over the past several years, the actor has built a body of work that moves between sharp comedy and darker dramatic material. Despite the growing scale of the projects around him, he still speaks about acting less as a performance showcase and more as a collaborative instinct. “I’m most attracted to the team behind the project — the actors, the people making it,” he said of choosing roles. “And if it’s shooting some...
