TV personality <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Billy Porter</a> recently elaborated on his thoughts about the highly publicized 2020 issue of Vogue featuring musician <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/harry-styles">Harry Styles</a> modeling a Gucci gown. 
Porter, 53, said he wasn’t pleased that Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour chose to showcase Styles, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lgbtq">straight</a> white man, as the magazine&#8217;s first male solo cover model for the December 2020 issue, even if he was cross-dressing at the time.
“It doesn’t feel good to me. You’re using my community — or your people are using my community — to elevate you. You haven’t had to sacrifice anything,” Porter said of Styles during a recent <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/interviews/billy-porter-interview-harry-styles-vogue/">interview</a> with The Telegraph.
The “Pose” star recalled an interview he did with Wintour several months before the cover debuted. &#8220;That b**** said to me at the end, ‘How can we do better?’ And I was so taken off guard that I didn’t say what I should have said,” Porter said.
&#8220;Use your power as Vogue to uplift the voices of the leaders of this de-gendering of fashion movement,&#8221; the actor continued. &#8220;Six months later, Harry Styles is the first man on the cover.”

Porter went on to say he’s not angry with Styles, but is upset with Vogue&#8217;s “gatekeepers.”
“It’s not Harry Styles’ fault that he happens to be white and cute and straight and fit into the infrastructure that way … I call out the gatekeepers,” Porter said.
The “Cinderella” alum complained about the same Vogue cover before. In October 2021, he made his feelings known during an <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/pose-star-billy-porter-did-i-ever-think-id-be-this-successful-no-because-im-gay-k59wszd5p">interview</a> with The Sunday Times. &#8220;I feel like the fashion industry has accepted me because they have to. I created the conversation [about nonbinary fashion] and yet Vogue still put Harry Styles, a straight white man, in a dress on their cover for the first time,&#8221; Porter said. 
&#8220;I was the first one doing it and now everybody is doing it,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I&#8217;m not dragging Harry Styles, but… He doesn&#8217;t care, he&#8217;s just doing it because it&#8217;s the thing to do. This is politics for me. This is my life.&#8221;
After receiving criticism, Porter expanded on his comments during an appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
&#8220;It is about the systems of oppression and erasure of people of color who contribute to the culture,&#8221; he said at the time. &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, Harry. I didn&#8217;t mean no harm. I&#8217;m a gay man. We like Harry. He&#8217;s cute.&#8221;

&#8220;Friends&#8221; actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-aniston" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Aniston</a> is blaming Vogue Magazine for taking away her ability to mock &#8220;Murder Mystery 2&#8221; costar and friend Adam Sandler.
Aniston explained during a Monday appearance on &#8220;The Tonight Show&#8221; with Jimmy Fallon that she used to chide Sandler — whom she&#8217;s known since she was just 20 years old — about his questionable fashion choices, but ever since Vogue named the &#8220;Happy Gilmore&#8221; star a &#8220;fashion icon,&#8221; her criticisms just don&#8217;t carry the weight that they used to.
The actress went on to describe a dinner in Italy with Sandler and his wife Jackie, noting that Jackie had been dressed up for the occasion and Sandler had been emphatically casual.
&#8220;Jackie looked beautiful in an eyelet dress. Her hair was done, and he shows up in basketball shorts,&#8221; Aniston explained. &#8220;Satin basketball shorts with white piping and Nike high tops. And turquoise velour Izod that had no relationship.&#8221;
&#8220;Now he&#8217;s like, &#8216;Vogue said I was amazing like this,’” Aniston continued. &#8220;So thanks, Vogue.&#8221;
According to the &#8220;We&#8217;re the Millers&#8221; star, the comedian often <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/03/22/jennifer-aniston-says-adam-sandler-slam-her-dates-what/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">got his jabs in</a> as well — usually with regard to whoever she happened to be dating at the time.
&#8220;Well, if I get anything from him, it&#8217;s &#8216;What are you doing?’” she intoned. &#8220;Usually based on someone I&#8217;m dating. &#8216;What are you doing? What&#8217;s wrong with you?’”
Despite the good-natured ribbing, Aniston and Sandler have <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/adam-sandler-jennifer-aniston-murder-mystery-b2305671.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">been friendly</a> since they first met at Los Angeles eatery Jerry&#8217;s Famous Deli — when she was 20 and he was 22 — and when they work together on films like the upcoming &#8220;Murder Mystery 2,&#8221; she often has to force him to take care of himself.

&#8220;He&#8217;s so concerned with taking care of everybody else, which he really does but he doesn&#8217;t take care of himself,&#8221; the actress said. &#8220;I have a little arsenal of herbs in my trailer and I make him smoothies when I can and give him all sorts of Chinese herbs when he is exhausted. I&#8217;m like the mobile pharmacy. Yeah, I&#8217;m the set medic.&#8221;
&#8220;Murder Mystery 2&#8221; is set for a <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15255288/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">March 31 streaming release</a> on Netflix.

Gisele Bundchen looked almost unrecognizable — sporting a red wig — on the first Vogue cover she&#8217;s landed since she and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Brady</a> divorced in 2022.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/giselle-bundchen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">42-year-old</a> retired Victoria&#8217;s Secret model&#8217;s career appears to be getting a jump start after the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star QB announced in February his official <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sports-world-reacts-to-news-of-tom-bradys-retirement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">retirement</a> from the NFL after 23 seasons in the league, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/02/22/gisele-bundchen-lands-first-vogue-cover-since-tom-brady-divorce/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a> reported.
On the cover of Vogue Italia&#8217;s March issue, Bundchen dons a scarlet red wig, a full-length sheer red Valentino gown with matching red lipstick, dramatic smokey eyes, and drawn-on brows.  It definitely required a double-take to even notice it was the Brazilian model.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The unique looks don&#8217;t stop there. In one snap shared by the magazine, Bundchen posed in a fluffy red wig while wearing a black strapless dress and chunky jewelry.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
There is one snap that does look like the supermodel inside the issue, as she posed sporting curls wearing pink lingerie under a totally sheer dress.
Gisele recently reacted to the news that her ex-husband and seven-time Super Bowl-winning QB had announced his retirement — this time &#8220;for good,&#8221; as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gisele-bundchen-reacts-to-tom-bradys-retirement-announcement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Bundchen&#8217;s response could be found in the comments section of Brady&#8217;s retirement NFL <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CoHvvZ_ux6e/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> that later went viral.
&#8220;Wishing you only wonderful things in this new chapter of your life,&#8221; the supermodel wrote, as she included a praying hands emoji in her comment.
The retirement announcement comes a year after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tom-brady-opens-up-about-divorce-to-gisele-and-challenges-on-and-off-the-field" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brady</a> first announced he was retiring on February 1, 2022, only to reverse course weeks later.  Not long after, reports began surfacing that Bündchen, his wife at the time, was not pleased and had expected the retirement to stick.
Speculation continued for months that the two were headed for divorce. In October, Brady finally confirmed reports that he and Bündchen were officially divorced after 13 years of marriage.
Bündchen and Brady share two kids. She previously made it clear she wanted her husband to be more present following his announcement that he was coming out of retirement in 2022, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gisele-bundchen-breaks-silence-on-tom-bradys-return-to-football-i-would-like-him-to-be-more-present" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.

Something very interesting happened last week when President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a> and first lady Jill Biden flew down to Florida to witness firsthand the damage done by Hurricane Ian.
No, it wasn&#8217;t that Biden toured with Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, a possible preview of the 2024 presidential contest.
It was Jill Biden&#8217;s shoes.
An eagle-eyed Twitterer caught the fact that Jill Biden was wearing high heels on the tour, posting a picture of her along with one of former first lady Melania Trump, who also wore heels when she toured damage in Texas during her husband&#8217;s term.
&#8220;Only one of these photos garnered wall to wall press coverage about the First Lady’s outfit choice,&#8221; Ben Goldey <a href="https://twitter.com/BenGoldey/status/1577690424738709505">tweeted</a>.
No one said a word about Jill&#8217;s shoe choice, but hoo boy did the media go crazy when Melania wore them.
“Melania Trump, Off to Texas, Finds Herself on Thin Heels,&#8221; The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/29/fashion/melania-trump-hurricane-harvey-heels-texas.html">wrote</a> on August 29, 2017.
&#8220;When is a shoe not just a shoe?&#8221; Vanessa Friedman wrote.
&#8220;When it is a pair of very high, needle-thin heels worn by the first lady of the United States on her way to the site of a natural disaster. Then it becomes a symbol for what many see as the disconnect between the Trump administration and reality; another example of the way in which this president and his family continue to define &#8216;appropriate&#8217; their own way; and an excuse for partisan name-calling,&#8221; she wrote.
<a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/melania-trump-hurricane-harvey-stilettos">Vogue</a> piled on in a piece headlined: “Melania Trump’s Hurricane Stilettos, and the White House’s Continual Failure to Understand Optics.”
&#8220;While the nation is riveted by images of thousands of Texans wading with their possessions, their pets, their kids, in chest-high water, desperately seeking refuge; while a government official recommends that those who insist on sheltering in place write their names and social security numbers on their arms, Melania Trump is heading to visit them in footwear that is a challenge to walk in on dry land,&#8221; Lynn Yaeger wrote.
It went on and on.
“Melania Trump Gets Backlash for Wearing Heels to Help Hurricane Victims,&#8221; Harper’s Bazaar <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/politics/a12119130/melania-trump-hurricane-harvey-heels-backlash/">wrote</a>. “Melania Trump Wears Her Stilettos to Tour Houston Flood Zone, No Joke,&#8221; Hollywood Reporter <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/melania-trump-stilettos-houston-flood-zone-1033584/">wrote</a>.
And writer Kenzie Bryant <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/08/melania-trump-hurricane-harvey-heels">wrote</a> in Vanity Fair, &#8220;Who Wears Stilettos to a Hurricane? Melania Trump.&#8221;
But Bryant&#8217;s piece included an &#8220;update&#8221; (not correction, mind you). &#8220;Update (August 29, 2017 at 1:12 p.m.): Melania Trump changed en route into more sensible footwear&#8230;.&#8221;
So wait, she wore heels walking from the White House to the Marine One helicopter on the South Lawn and changed her footwear on Air Force One?
That&#8217;s right. She changed her whole outfit and donned a pair of white Adidas sneakers for the hurricane damage tour, according to Inside Edition.
What is most interesting about it all is that Jill Biden got very different coverage, showing the double standard of the liberal media.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Melania Trump Criticized for Wearing High Heels as She Left for Texas" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bwjQL2xqlys?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&#8220;Jill Biden Gets Sharply Suited With Striped Bow Pumps for Florida Visit After Hurricane Ian,&#8221; Footwear News <a href="https://footwearnews.com/2022/fashion/womens/jill-biden-ron-desantis-bow-pumps-hurricane-ian-florida-1203354122/">wrote</a>.
&#8220;When it came to footwear, Biden completed her look with a set of whimsical pumps. Her pointed-toe style — now a signature of hers as the first lady — appeared to feature pink and yellow floral uppers with a ruched texture, triangular toes,&#8221; the site wrote.
But the conservative site The Free Beacon gave Jill the Melania <a href="https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/jill-bided-hurricane-heel-scandal/">treatment</a>. &#8220;Who Wears Heels to a Hurricane? Dr. Jill Biden,&#8221; the headline said. &#8220;Tone-deaf doesn&#8217;t even begin to describe the first lady&#8217;s wardrobe choice,&#8221; said the subhead.
The piece also included its own &#8220;update&#8221;: &#8220;UPDATE: Dr. Jill was still wearing the same flashy heels after landing in Florida to survey the hurricane damage. (At least Melania had the decency to change into sneakers.) By contrast, Gov. Ron DeSantis&#8217; (R., Fla.) wife Casey wore sensible flats.&#8221;
So to sum up, Jill Biden actually wore high heels to tour hurricane damage while Melania Trump just wore them on the helicopter and plane before changing into &#8220;sensible footwear&#8221; &#8212; and the media blew up Melania!?
Same as it ever was.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has joined the ranks of leftist women glamorously featured on the pages of Vogue magazine.
Like First Lady Jill Biden and former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, Jackson was photographed by Vogue&#8217;s Annie Leibovitz, whose most recent project focused on Ukraine&#8217;s First Lady Olena Zelenska.
The photographs show Jackson posing at the Lincoln Memorial dressed in an a brown Aliétte coat. In one of the photos, she leans against a pillar and gazes up at Lincoln&#8217;s second inaugural address etched on the wall.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Leibovitz also photographed singer Rihanna for Vogue in April, actress Olivia Wilde in December 2021, and former Hilary Clinton adviser Huma Abedin in October 2021.
Vogue has also featured Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Vice President Kamala Harris on its cover, but abstained from featuring former First Lady Melania Trump, First Lady Laura Bush, or First Lady Barbara Bush, or any of Trump&#8217;s high profile female press secretaries on its cover.
“They’re biased and they have likes and dislikes, and it’s so obvious,&#8221; Melania Trump <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/melania-trump-slams-vogue-for-putting-hillary-clinton-michelle-obama-and-jill-biden-on-the-cover-but-not-her">said of Vogue</a> in an interview after she left the White House. &#8220;And I think American people and everyone sees it. It was their decision, and I have much more important things to do — and I did in the White House — than being on the cover of Vogue.&#8221; 
Asked why she is overtly partisan in featuring Democratic women over Republican women on the magazine&#8217;s cover, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/melania-trump-slams-vogue-for-putting-hillary-clinton-michelle-obama-and-jill-biden-on-the-cover-but-not-her">said in 2019</a> that she felt she must stand up for what she believes.
“If you’re talking about the first lady [Michelle Obama] or Senator [Kamala] Harris, obviously these are women that we feel are icons and inspiring to women from a global perspective,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;I also feel even more strongly now that this is not a time to try — and I think one has to be fair, one has to look at all sides — but I don’t think it’s a moment not to take a stand,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I think you can’t be everything to everybody and I think it’s a time that we live in a world, as you would well know, of fake news … [and] those of us that work at Conde Nast believe that you have to stand up for what you believe in and you have to take a point of view.”
Wintour, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire, neglected to speak about Melania Trump as the first lady in a July 2019 podcast interview where she was asked to name something in Trump&#8217;s wardrobe that she admires.
“Well, I think First Lady Michelle Obama was really so incredible in every decision she made about fashion,&#8221; Wintour <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/melania-trump-slams-vogue-for-putting-hillary-clinton-michelle-obama-and-jill-biden-on-the-cover-but-not-her">responded</a>, pivoting from Trump. &#8220;She supported young American designers. She supported designers, indeed, from all over the world. She was the best ambassador this country could possibly have, in many ways, obviously way beyond fashion&#8230; ”
“But she’s not the First Lady now,&#8221; Wintour&#8217;s interviewer reminded the Vogue editor-in-chief. &#8220;What about the one you have now?”
Wintour finished: “And for me, she is the example I admire.&#8221;

Superstar Serena Williams announced her retirement from tennis and said that &#8220;nothing is a sacrifice for her,&#8221; as she explained that she&#8217;s choosing building her family rather than her tennis résumé.
In a lengthy article written by the 40-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/serena-williams">tennis superstar</a> for <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/serena-williams-retirement-in-her-own-words">Vogue</a>, Serena talked about how much she will miss the part of her that played tennis, but that she&#8217;s come to a moment in her life when she wants to grow her family and doesn&#8217;t want to be &#8220;pregnant again as an athlete.”
Williams and husband Alexis Ohanian share a daughter, Alexis Olympia, who turns five this month.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
In Vogue’s September issue, <a href="https://twitter.com/serenawilliams?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@serenawilliams</a> prepares to say farewell to tennis on her own terms and in her own words. “It’s the hardest thing that I could ever imagine,” she says. “I don’t want it to be over, but at the same time I’m ready for what’s next” <a href="https://t.co/6Zr0UXVTH1">https://t.co/6Zr0UXVTH1</a> <a href="https://t.co/YtGtcc18a9">pic.twitter.com/YtGtcc18a9</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family,&#8221; the tennis star wrote. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn&#8217;t be writing this because I&#8217;d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family.&#8221;
&#8220;Maybe I&#8217;d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Don&#8217;t get me wrong: I love being a woman, and I loved every second of being pregnant with Olympia. I was one of those annoying women who adored being pregnant and was working until the day I had to report to the hospital—although things got super complicated on the other side.&#8221;
&#8220;And I almost did do the impossible: A lot of people don&#8217;t realize that I was two months pregnant when I won the Australian Open in 2017,&#8221; Williams continued. &#8220;But I’m turning 41 this month, and something&#8217;s got to give. I have never liked the word retirement. It doesn’t feel like a modern word to me.&#8221;
The athlete explained that she&#8217;d rather think of this time as &#8220;a transition&#8221; and &#8220;evolution,&#8221; and wrote that she&#8217;s &#8220;evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me.&#8221;
“A few years ago I quietly started Serena Ventures, a venture capital firm. Soon after that, I started a family. I want to grow that family,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/williams-told-ramos-hes-never-ump-one-her-matches-amanda-prestigiacomo">Williams</a> shared, while at the same time admitting the idea of retirement brings her a &#8220;great deal of pain&#8221; and is not something she&#8217;s looking forward to. She wrote that she&#8217;s &#8220;torn: I don’t want it to be over, but at the same time I’m ready for what’s next.&#8221;
And she shared that &#8220;if I have to choose between building my tennis résumé and building my family, I choose the latter,&#8221; as she explained that when it comes to her daughter, &#8220;nothing is a sacrifice&#8221; for her. “It all just makes sense,&#8221; she said.

Joy Behar mocked former First Lady Melania Trump, alluding to racy photos she had posed for in her modeling days, for claiming that Vogue&#8217;s decision to not offer her a magazine cover was rooted in political bias.
Behar made the comments during Tuesday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The View&#8221; on ABC, which was co-hosted by former White House Press Secretary — and former spokeswoman for Melania Trump — Stephanie Grisham.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg kicked off the segment with a clip from a recent interview of the former first lady, hosted by Fox News host Pete Hegseth. Trump said that she believed the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/exclusive-the-press-is-just-horrible-donald-trump-says-media-ravaged-melania-trump/">media in general</a> — and Vogue as well — was <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/stunning-and-intelligent-jill-biden-vs-trashy-and-racist-melania-trump-the-exhausting-hypocrisy-of-the-left/">biased against her</a>.
&#8220;I had much more important things to do, and I did in the White House, than being on the cover of Vogue,&#8221; she said, brushing off the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/vogues-anna-wintour-insults-melania-trump-first-paul-bois/">magazine&#8217;s refusal</a> to put her on the cover during her husband&#8217;s presidency [she did appear on the cover of Vogue in 2005].
&#8220;What did she do?&#8221; Behar asked. &#8220;She turned that beautiful Rose Garden into a cemetery. That&#8217;s one thing she did. What did she do exactly? Honestly, I don&#8217;t care what she does. I really don&#8217;t care. Do you?&#8221;
&#8220;You know what, she was first and foremost a mother, and she was a very good mother and prioritized her son first. I will say that, and her initiatives were important to her,&#8221; Grisham pushed back.
&#8220;What are the initiatives?&#8221; Behar asked.
&#8220;Online safety, opioids, and just helping children with emotional intelligence, et cetera,&#8221; Grisham replied in defense of her former employer, adding that she thought Vogue should have put Melania on the cover while she was first lady.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve seen a lot of photographs online, though,&#8221; Behar joked, clearly referring to nude photos Trump had posed for in her modeling days.
&#8220;Again, I know it’s easy to take potshots at her, and trust me, I would like to as well, but I think for this topic, there was bias there,&#8221; Grisham tried once again to defend her former boss. &#8220;But I will also say when Vogue came to us and asked if she would do a shoot, she would only do a shoot if she could be on the cover.&#8221;
&#8220;She’s a model and she knows how this works,&#8221; Goldberg objected, noting that the magazine had the right to say who would and would not grace the cover.
&#8220;She expected to be on the cover but again rightfully so, she had seen all the other First Ladies on the cover, so I do get that,&#8221; Grisham pushed back.
Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/view-mocks-melania-trump-interview-vogue?intcmp=tw_fnc">noted</a> that Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is a longtime Democratic supporter, suggesting that the move may have, as Trump suggested, been rooted in political bias.
Michelle Obama, for example, graced Vogue&#8217;s cover three times while she was first lady. Jill Biden has already done a Vogue cover, and former First Lady Hillary Clinton did one as well. Vice President Kamala Harris got her month on the magazine&#8217;s cover before she was even inaugurated.
Former First Lady Laura Bush, the next most recent Republican first lady, did not get a Vogue cover either – but she was featured in a story.

Actress Vanessa Hudgens made quite an appearance Monday when she showed up in basically her underwear in a totally see-through black gown at the 2022 Met Gala in New York City.
The 33-year-old actress was hard to miss when she walked the red carpet at the annual celebration this year titled &#8220;In America: An Anthology of Fashion&#8221; at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The revealing black number can be seen <a href="https://twitter.com/enews/status/1521242428455464960?s=20&amp;t=oW5oYnvxuAHBoYe7O6jG9A">here</a>. In the photos that surfaced on social media, the &#8220;High School Musical&#8221; star is seen wearing a long-sleeve, floor-length gown that was made of completely sheer black fabric throughout. The dress had a high-collar and puff sleeves with a daring black embroidered pattern across the chest. The dress also was made up of a long flowing skirt that was see-through with the actress wearing black lace bikini briefs to top of the look
She completed her outfit with her hair pulled up into a bun, jewelry and black high-heel platform shoes.
The actress&#8217; attire was just one that stood out being worn by a host of celebrities in the modeling, movies and music world, just to name a few. The evening&#8217;s theme this year was &#8220;Gilded Glamour,&#8221; per the description on Anna Wintour&#8217;s invitation, <a href="https://people.com/style/met-gala-2022-dress-code-explainer-theme-details/">reported</a> People magazine.
The odd fashion at the 2022 Met Gala did not escape many, including Daily Wire&#8217;s own Matt Walsh who noted one person looked as though they were wearing something that resembled a &#8220;diseased bird.&#8221;
&#8220;This is a beautiful dress for anyone who wants to go out in public looking like a diseased bird,&#8221; Walsh <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1521259588305227776?s=20&amp;amp;t=ZsQRJFebj5weA2pbxhDKbQ">tweeted</a> to his hundreds of thousands of followers.
His post included a clip of Netflix&#8217;s &#8220;Derry Girls&#8221; Nicola Coughlan wearing a pink black and satin floor-length number complete with pink and black feathers randomly scattered all over the dress.

This year&#8217;s event, which is attended by the richest and most famous celebrities from fashion to politics, has many critics calling out the &#8220;tone-deaf&#8221; nature of theme, comparing it to something right out of &#8220;The Hunger Games,&#8221; as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/theyre-begging-for-the-pitchforks-arent-they-met-gala-theme-announcement-raises-eyebrows">reported</a> by the Daily Wire.

Senior writer for RealClear Investigations, Mark Hemingway, noted the timing of the event made the optics even worse. &#8220;The WHCA and Met Gala just a few days apart, right after today&#8217;s economic news. Just absolutely perfect optics for all involved,&#8221; Hemingway <a href="https://twitter.com/Heminator/status/1519779195466956806">tweeted</a>.

Lindsay Lohan said that over time she&#8217;s realized how important her family is to her — and she shared how her &#8220;siblings definitely had it harder&#8221; than most kids because of the things she said she&#8217;s done &#8220;by mistake.&#8221;
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lindsay-lohan-slams-some-metoo-accusers-weak-hank-berrien">35-year-old actress</a> opened up about a whole host of things during an interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XljR6oxL4i0">Vogue magazine</a> for a piece called &#8220;Life In Looks,&#8221; and the &#8220;Mean Girls&#8221; star shared a clip in a Thursday <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CcDkJxOpsZN/">Instagram</a> post.
She captioned the post, &#8220;I am so excited and honored to be a part of Vogue Magazine&#8217;s my &#8216;Life in Looks.&#8217; The full video will be live on Vogue&#8217;s YouTube account and a link in my bio, here&#8217;s just a few cuts from the interview.&#8221;

In the video, &#8220;The Parent Trap&#8221; star talked about some of her more famous looks throughout the years from her red carpet look for Disney&#8217;s &#8220;The Parent Trap&#8221; movie premiere in 1998 to the styles she wore in her movie &#8220;Freaky Friday&#8221; in 2003 alongside costar Jamie Lee Curtis — and in &#8220;Mean Girls&#8221; the following year.
It is during this look back at her headline-making outfits, the superstar actress opened up about found memories she&#8217;s had with her brothers — Michael Lohan Jr. and Dakota Lohan — and sister Aliana Lohan. That starts at the 12:07 minute mark <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XljR6oxL4i0">here</a>.
&#8220;My family&#8217;s so important for me, so anytime that I have an opportunity to involve my sister and my brother, and in anything that I do,&#8221; Lohan shared. &#8220;And my mom I always jump at at the chance &#8230; those are the memories that count.&#8221;
&#8220;Growing up my my siblings definitely had it harder that most kids at their age, because I was such a public figure that they couldn&#8217;t really escape any of the results of the things I did, by mistake, in front of the public eye,&#8221; she aded.  &#8220;So, I feel like I also had to really lead by example as I got older and learned from my mistakes.&#8221;
&#8220;Yeah, over time you realize how important family is more than anything else in the world,&#8221; Lohan continued.
The &#8220;Herbie Fully Loaded&#8221; star&#8217;s parents, Dina and Michael Lohan, divorced in 2007.
Lohan has had a rather checkered past after shooting to fame at the age of 12 in &#8220;The Parent Trap.&#8221; After that, she was in the headlines for years due to personal issues related to substance abuse and more.
She&#8217;s spoken in the past about her parents&#8217; troubled relationship and her own struggles after being arrested for a D.U.I. while in possession of cocaine — and another time with it in her system, <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2010/10/lindsay-lohan-201010">reported</a> Vanity Fair in 2010.
<blockquote>“I grew up really fast just because of the situations I was subjected to because of my father,” Lindsay said. “My mom would try to shield me from that as much as possible, but I chose to get in the middle [of her parents] my entire life.”</blockquote>
In November 2021, the &#8220;Georgia Rule&#8221; star shared life-changing news on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CW0Kt4LLUu3/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=8bf62e92-012f-4292-a2c4-d7863736ff00">social media</a> she and boyfriend Bader Shammas were engaged. She captioned her post, &#8220;My love. My life. My family. My future. @bader.shammas #love.&#8221; The message also included a diamond ring emoji.
Lohan basically disappeared from the spotlight, other than a few choice roles, for more than a decade. Recently, she has made a comeback and will star in her first project when &#8220;Falling For Christmas&#8221; debuts later this year on Netflix.

Lindsay Lohan Says Her Siblings ‘Definitely Had It Harder’ Than Most Kids Because Of What She Says She Did ‘By Mistake’

Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a new book from New York Times journalists Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns, took offense when West Wing staffers — who stood to greet President Joe Biden — failed to do so as she entered the room.
Politico reported on several excerpts of the book due out May 3 titled &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/This-Will-Not-Pass-Americas/dp/1982172487/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?crid=138UZX47XGGOV&amp;keywords=alex+burns+jonathan+martin&amp;qid=1647976856&amp;sprefix=alx+burns%2Caps%2C76&amp;sr=8-1-fkmr1">This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America&#8217;s Future,</a>&#8221; and detailed several other instances that had apparently set Harris off.
First was the Vogue cover photo, which was leaked two weeks prior to the inauguration — and, according to the book, was not the photo Harris had expected. Despite weeks of <a href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/news/article/kamala-harris-sneakers-fashion">campaigning in her signature Converse sneakers</a>, Harris apparently felt that the cover photo featuring her wearing them, along with a pair of skinny pants, was &#8220;an approachable but less than grand depiction of the incoming vice president.&#8221;
&#8220;Harris was wounded. She felt belittled by the magazine, asking aides: Would Vogue depict another world leader this way?&#8221; Martin and Burns wrote, noting that after Harris&#8217; objections, Vogue ultimately <a href="https://www.insider.com/vogue-kamala-harris-limited-edition-issue-with-different-cover-2021-1">sold a limited edition issue</a> with the photo the Vice President had preferred.
Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour said at the time that she had chosen the photo that she felt was more &#8220;relatable.&#8221;
President Biden&#8217;s team was at odds with Harris&#8217; team even then, the book alleged, with one Biden official reportedly saying that it was &#8220;not the time&#8221; to wage war with Vogue, particularly over an issue that was viewed by the president&#8217;s staff as primarily &#8220;aesthetic.&#8221;
&#8220;It was an early indication that members of the Biden-Harris teams were on different pages with different priorities. The dynamic didn&#8217;t improve from there,&#8221; the Politico report continued. &#8220;Martin and Burns document an increasingly fraught relationship between the West Wing and the vice president’s office filled with anger, eye-rolling, portfolio feuds, and real and perceived slights.&#8221;
Among those slights was the fact that Biden&#8217;s staffers, who stood when he entered a room, did not do the same for Harris — a move that she interpreted as &#8220;a sign of disrespect.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
New: <a href="https://twitter.com/VP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@VP</a> was stung by what she saw as the lack of respect shown to her by WH aides who failed to stand when she entered the room&#8211;and her chief of staff conveyed that displeasure to the West Wing.<a href="https://twitter.com/AlexThomp?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AlexThomp</a> on this + lots more from THIS WILL NOT PASS:<a href="https://t.co/x8xkvatz0d">https://t.co/x8xkvatz0d</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;Some of Harris’s advisers believed the president’s almost entirely white inner circle did not show the vice president the respect she deserved. Harris worried that Biden’s staff looked down on her; she fixated on real and perceived snubs in ways the West Wing found tedious,&#8221; Burns and Martin continued.
They went on to say that Harris sent her chief of staff, Tina Flournoy, to address the situation. Flournoy reportedly told Biden top aide Anita Dunn that Harris was not pleased that West Wing staffers did not stand when she entered the room the way they did for the president.
Dunn did not comment specifically on the conversation, but told Politico&#8217;s West Wing Playbook, &#8220;Everyone in the West Wing has a high degree of respect for the Vice President and the hard work she is doing for this President and our country. Particularly me.&#8221;
In addition to Harris&#8217; frustrations, the book claimed that First Lady Jill Biden was not thrilled with the decision to make her the Vice President in the first place.
As The Daily Wire <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/new-book-claims-jill-biden-didnt-want-harris-as-vp-why-do-we-have-to-choose-the-one-who-attacked-joe/">reported</a>:
<blockquote>First lady Jill Biden reportedly made it clear early on that she was not happy to welcome Harris to her husband’s ticket. According to Burns and Martin, she referenced Harris’ debate-stage attempt to paint then candidate Joe Biden as a racist — citing his friendships with known segregationists and his opposition to busing — and she wondered to an adviser whether there wasn’t a better choice among the millions of other Americans who might be available.
“Speaking in confidence with a close adviser to her husband’s campaign, the future first lady posed a pointed question. There are millions of people in the United States, she began. Why, she asked, do we have to choose the one who attacked Joe?”</blockquote>

‘A Sign Of Disrespect’: New Book Claims VP Wanted Biden’s Staff To Stand Whenever She Walked In

The world of high fashion experienced a huge loss on Tuesday.
André Leon Talley is one of the most prominent faces associated with Vogue, second only to Anna Wintour. That’s why fashion fans were saddened to hear of the 73-year-old’s passing and are now reflecting on the legacy he left behind.
An official <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CY5n_zVsLaR/">statement</a> on his Instagram account read, &#8220;It is with great sadness we announce the passing of André Leon Talley on January 18, 2022 in New York. Mr. Talley was the larger-than-life, longtime creative director at Vogue during its rise to dominance as the world&#8217;s fashion bible.&#8221;
The larger-than-life six-foot-six fashion expert was best known for his sense of humor, his booming voice, and his eclectic sense of style. Friends remember him for being totally honest no matter what. 
Talley spent four seasons on &#8220;America&#8217;s Next Top Model&#8221; as a judge plus had cameos on &#8220;Empire&#8221; and the first &#8220;Sex and the City&#8221; movie. The Vogue veteran also dressed and profiled then-first lady Michelle Obama for the magazine.
Talley had joined iconic fashion magazine Vogue in 1983 as the fashion news director. He moved up to the role of creative director and became editor-in-chief Wintour&#8217;s right-hand, which is where he stayed from 1987 to 1995. Talley left Vogue in 1995 and moved to Paris, People reported. While in France the fashion guru went back to working for W Magazine, which is where he’d spent the earlier part of his career.
But even while employed by their competitor, Talley remained a Vogue editor until rejoining the publication as editor-at-large in 1998. He remained in that position until leaving Vogue for good in 2013.
Talley has published two memoirs: A.L.T. from 2003 and “The Chiffon Trenches,” which was released in May 2020. In the books, he discusses growing up in his grandmother’s North Carolina home and working as a taxi driver to save money. He went to North Carolina Central University and then attended Brown on scholarship. 
Talley’s first job was as a volunteer assistant to Diana Vreeland at the Metropolitan Museum of Art&#8217;s Costume Institute. This parlayed his entrance into the fashion world. After landing a job at Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine, he worked at industry publication WWD and Vanity Fair. But Talley made his longtime home with Vogue.
Despite his legacy there, Talley’s relationship with Vogue and Wintour wasn’t perfect. The fashion editor, who was black, publicly denounced the lack of diversity at Vogue. &#8220;At one point, I was the only black person on Anna&#8217;s staff,&#8221; he <a href="https://abc13.com/andr-leon-talley-dead-obituary-fashion-icon/11486315/">told</a> MailOnline after the release of his memoir.
And he also addressed how his relationship with Wintour went bad over the years. &#8220;I think my relationship is in an iceberg with her,&#8221; Talley said during an interview with Gayle King in 2020. &#8220;I hope that it will not be that forever.”
The statement on Talley’s death did not include a cause of death. Big names from the fashion industry including designers Diane Von Furstenberg and Marc Jacobs shared how Talley impacted their lives and how much he will be missed.

Former Vogue Creative Director André Leon Talley Dead At 73

Vogue Magazine, which somehow never had a cover story about former First Lady Melania Trump, found time to feature a roughly <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/first-lady-dr-jill-biden-profile">6,000-word puff piece</a> cover story on First Lady Jill Biden for its August issue, with the gushing title, “A First Lady for All of Us: On the Road with Dr. Jill Biden.”
In November 2016, Vogue <a href="https://people.com/style/michelle-obama-third-vogue-cover-december-2016/">published its third cover story</a> about former First Lady Michelle Obama with the gushing title, “The First Lady The World Fell In Love With.” That story began:
<blockquote>First Lady Michelle Obama has achieved so much in her eight-year tenure in the White House: She’s assisted veterans and their families, given knockout speeches (including one at the Democratic National Convention this summer) on topics she feels passionately about, transformed the way that kids think about healthy eating and being active, seen her eldest daughter get into Harvard and done all of that while achieving fashion icon status. And now she has one more accomplishment to add to her list: a third Vogue cover within seven years.</blockquote>
The Jill Biden profile includes quotes like these:
<blockquote>&#8220;She is, quite simply, a joy multiplier.&#8221;
&#8220;Part of what makes the Bidens’ right-out-of-the-gate successes so extraordinary is that they seem to have perfectly read the room: We have been through this enormous, collective trauma, and here’s a calm, experienced, empathetic president, and here’s a first lady who is driven, tireless, effortlessly popular, but also someone who reminds us of ourselves.&#8221;
&#8220;In many ways, Dr. Biden is perfectly calibrated for this moment—thus far, a nearly pomp-free presidency.&#8221;</blockquote>
There’s the necessary tribute to Joe Biden with the concomitant slap at former President Trump:
<blockquote>When Marine One—the helicopter that flies the president from the White House to his plane—lands and then roars up to disgorge POTUS and FLOTUS (and the man carrying the football), it feels like a show of muscularity that is particular to the United States—one that is no longer in the hands of someone for whom that seemed to matter too much and for all the wrong reasons. The quasi-march across the tarmac, the crisp salute to the commanders and sergeants in place to greet him—it suits Joe, in his aviators, so tall and thin in his impeccable blue suit.</blockquote>
And more puffing up the Biden presidency:
<blockquote> … countless editorials began marking the first 100 days of the Biden administration, many expressing surprised relief over how much was getting done, how much legitimately helpful policy was moving through the system, how little drama, how few flubs or fumbles or ugly fights. Joe Biden is boring—and that’s not a complaint. 
One day, I asked Dr. Biden about the mood of the country. “During the campaign, I felt so much anxiety from people; they were scared,” she told me. “When I travel around the country now, I feel as though people can breathe again. I think that’s part of the reason Joe was elected. People wanted someone to come in and heal this nation, not just from the pandemic, which I feel Joe did by, you know, getting shots in everybody’s arms. But also&#8230;he’s just a calmer president. He lowers the temperature.”</blockquote>
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki joined in the worshipful applause, tweeting, “So fortunate to work for ‘A First Lady for All of Us’ who is a ‘joy multiplier’ America won the @FLOTUS lottery.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
