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 ...

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...

Heidi Klum took the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “Costume Art” exhibition and “Fashion Is Art” theme to a new level in her look at the 2026 Met Gala in New York City on Monday night.

Heidi Klum Michael Buckner Even the detailing on Klum’s faced created a deceptively veiled appearance. A headpiece full of floral elements featured as well. The model’s entire look enveloped Klum’s body, with gray contacts added and painted hands, face and even teeth. Heidi Klum Gilbert Flores Klum’s en...

L.J. Benet almost missed out on his Broadway debut. The former child actor was in the stages of returning to the scene after stepping away for a few years, and had taken up work with Taskrabbit.  “I almost turned down [the audition] because I had a carpentry job that I was supposed to do,” Benet says over a Zoom call. “I told my agent, ‘Hey, I can’t do this. I have a really big job,’ and she’s like, ‘Are you stupid?’”  A year of audition tapes later, the 29-year-old got the call to come out to New York.  “They were like, ‘Welcome to ‘Lost Boys,’” he says. “I was like, ‘What are you talking about? I was just doing Taskrabbit last week.’” L.J.

Fashion is craving fantasy again. As the reign of minimalism gives way to a more expressive mood, statement-making style is back — from oversize Jackie O-inspired sunglasses to chunky statement necklaces and animal print in every imaginable form.

But as fashion looks to bring more of that milestone magic into daily life, the once-elusive silhouette is entering a new era of wearability. No longer reserved for runways and red carpets, the cape is winning over fashion insiders for everyday dressing and special occasions alike. The modern cape revival has been building quietly on runways for several seasons. It began largely with cape-adjacent outerwear — namely the ubiquitous Toteme s...

After a highly publicized press tour and a slew of collaborations — from nail files to vodka — “The Devil Wears Prada 2” is finally out in the world, having released in theaters on May 1.

While the character has already managed to stir up controversy, especially in Asia where some social media users believe Chao’s demeanor, appearance, and lines feed into harmful stereotypes, Samsung’s advertisement achieves the opposite effect: positioning Shen-slash-Chao as som...
