Just when you thought the internet had reached peak Timothée Chalamet, it said “hold my teeny, tiny purse.” This past week, while making extraordinarily brave fashion choices, the King of Miniature Accessories nabbed an Oscar nom for his portrayal of Bob Dylan and pulled double duty on SNL as last night’s host (this sketch where he plays a workout class instructor with luscious Fabio-inspired hair is a must-watch) and musical guest. That was just the cherry on top of a delightfully entertaining press tour for A Complete Unknown, which has included: peddling into the UK premiere on a brat green e-bike (not even movie stars are exempt from parking fines), debuting sideswept Bieber-like blond bangs, releasing an exceptionally chaotic music video (in the words of one X user, “it’s giving Raygun”), and showing off his best Soulja Boy dance moves. Oh, and that’s in addition to his attempt to single-handedly bring back True Religion jeans, his shocking amount of college football knowledge (who knew?), and his iconic appearance at the Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest. By all accounts, at this point, we should be tired of seeing Chalamet and his Little Mustache™ dominating our feeds. After all, he’s been the prince of internet boyfriends since at least 2018. And yet, we keep coming back to his goofy, authentic, Lil’ Timmy Tim self. Perhaps it’s because you can always rely on him to make…interesting choices, whether that’s who he dates (yep, we said it), the roles he plays (*cough* Willy Wonka *cough*), or the clothes he wears (see: Disney Channel-coded skinny scarves and jokes that he may have raided the closet of Kylie Jenner’s daughter). Or, maybe it’s the fact that he never ceases to deliver moments that genuinely surprise and delight, like when he casually strolled into the University of Minnesota’s marching band rehearsal. Plus, in an industry where everyone seems to take themselves, shall we say, a little too seriously, Chalamet just keeps on keeping on. |

What’s that saying: Two is a coincidence, three is a trend? Last week, Camila Cabello posted pictures from a Mexico performance, in which the “Havana” singer wore what might be her most confounding look ever — involving a bikini top, a see-through corset, a cropped Y2K-era bolero, and, most notably, fuzzy leg warmers. Days later, Doechii was photographed in an equally perplexing outfit, including two thongs, oversized sweats, and — you guessed it — leg warmers. Naturally, we’re afraid if we don’t intervene quickly, everyone will be wearing leg warmers come spring. And, let’s be real, there are just two ’80s comebacks we’re willing to accept: funky, statement earrings (your mom will be thrilled) and oversized, Diane Keaton-esque power suits. |

In this week’s edition of Things We’re Extremely Here For, we’re pleased to report that the OG “Mr. Brightside” sing-along queen is back to acting. That’s right, more than a decade after retiring, Cameron Diaz is starring in a new Netflix movie, aptly titled Back in Action, in which she and Jamie Foxx (who Diaz “couldn’t say no to”) play a pair of married former spies who are forced out of retirement when their cover is blown. Now, you may be wondering: Why did the cherished actress, who gave us iconic rom-coms like My Best Friend’s Wedding, There’s Something About Mary, and In Her Shoes, leave Hollywood in the first place? According to Diaz, she wanted to focus on building a family with her husband, Good Charlotte’s Benji Madden (the couple has a daughter, Raddix, and a son, Cardinal). And while Diaz hasn’t been totally out of the spotlight during that time (let us remind you of her organic wine brand), she recently revealed that a comment from Madden ultimately sparked her return. (Benji, on behalf of millennials everywhere, thank you.) As for what’s next, Diaz says her new rule moving forward is “no rom-coms, only mom-coms” — which luckily, doesn’t necessarily exclude another Charlie’s Angels sequel, since all three actresses have signaled they’re open to it. Hollywood, your move. |

Prequel Hand Wrap Hand Shielding Lotion Chief among winter’s many grievances (see: the deep frustration that is trying to keep a bag from falling off your shoulder) is the dry hand/greasy lotion issue — which is precisely why this Prequel hand cream is so genius. Not only is it formulated with hydrating ingredients, but it also creates a barely noticeable film on your skin, reducing moisture loss for a full 24 hours (yes, even if you excessively wash your hands). Plus, it absorbs almost immediately, so you can get right back to typing and texting without getting your devices greasy. And in the event that this all sounds too good to be true, rest assured: Several of our Commerce editors swear by this to get them through the coldest, driest days. |
