The Cut - Thank God for Julia Fox

It’s absolutely freezing, you and/or everyone you know probably got COVID-19 — maybe for the second or third time — and everything seems just generally blah to grim. It would all be pretty hopeless if it weren’t for Julia Fox and her mesmerizing love life.

In the course of two Omicron-occluded holiday weeks, the No Sudden Move and Uncut Gems actress and downtown darling publicly dragged the father of her child on Instagram, becoming something of a hero to single moms online, and then — a few days later, on New Year’s Eve of all days — began a very public whirlwind romance with Kanye West in Miami. She’s eaten at Carbone not once but twice (in Miami and New York); seen Slave Play (with Jeremy O. Harris and Ye); and found a captive, eager, and grateful audience in those of us stuck inside monitoring IG and “Page Six”’s Twitter feed, not to mention ogling over her “real Cinderella moment” in Interview Magazine, as if her escapades are a fabulous new series on Bravo.

We regret to inform you that science says there’s no such thing as a hangover cure. ​We’re cautiously optimistic about what the cordial relationship between Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams could mean for public-transit improvements in the city. Speaking of the MTA, violence against AAPI individuals accounted for more than one-third of the bias crimes in the subway in 2021. New York could make history as the first state to pass legislation setting broad sustainability regulations for the fashion industry. Cher looks back on her best beauty moments. And you can overhaul your closet for a fresh start to the year without spending a dime.
