Chappell Roan's 'Hot to Go' Music Video Costume Sells for $89K in Benefit Auction for L.A. Wildfire Relief
A piece of Chappell Roan's wardrobe was the highest selling item in a benefit auction brimming with items for the pop culture-obsessed!
The star's iconic 'Hot to Go' music video 'fit — a vintage sequined marching band unitard and strappy, knee-high boots — sold for a whopping $88,900 in Julien's Auctions' Give a Frock Auction. The auction house announced the winning bid — the highest of the entire auction! — on Tuesday, Feb. 25, following the conclusion of the event, which raised funds for Los Angeles wildfire relief.
Ahead of the pop culture-centric benefit auction, the company estimated that glittering blue and gold unitard — which Roan, 27, also wore on stage at Outside Lands Festival last summer — and size 7 Jeffrey Campbell boots would go for $1,000 to $2,000, meaning it earned 88 times the lowest estimated selling price, and 44 times the highest.
The sparkling, vintage ensemble — curated by Roan's stylist, Genesis Webb — was just one of the pieces she donated to the wildfire relief fundraiser.

Other pieces from the 'Pink Pony Club' singer that sold for 'top prices,' Julien's Auctions said, were the (similarly fringe-heavy) purple two-piece ensemble she wore at Sacramento venue Goldfield Trading Post, and the green, ultra-platform Marc Jacobs boots she wore in her cover photo shoot for Rolling Stone last fall.
The purple set sold for $22,225 — over 22 times more than its estimated selling price of $1,000 — while the platforms raked in a grand total of $6,350.
And Roan wasn't the only pop girly whose iconic pieces did numbers in the relief auction. Items worn by Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, Hayley Williams, Olivia Rodrigo and the inventor of BRAT herself, Charli xcx, also sold for thousands.
The iconic polka-dot co-ord Carpenter, 25, wore in her 'Taste' music video — Blondita's popular Gwen set — sold for $22,225, while the hooded Alaïa minidress she wore in her 'Please Please Please' music video (the pre-Dolly Parton version!) boasted a winning bid of $34,925. (An outfit Jenna Ortega wore in the 'Taste' video alongside the star also sold for $13,000.)
Meanwhile, the Rodarte gown Rodrigo, 22, wore at the premiere of The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes in 2023 fetched $10,160, and two outfits worn by Charli, 32 — a bridal-inspired ensemble and custom Gucci 'fit she wore during her Sweat Tour — went for $22,225 and $8,890 in the auction, respectively.

Ear clips worn by Eilish, 23, fetched $5,715 in the auction, and two outfits worn by Paramore frontwoman Williams — one in the band's "This Is Why" music video and one for an opening performance at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour — raked in $16,250 and $13,000 for wildfire relief.

In a statement shared after the auction, Martin Nolan, the executive director and co-founder of Julien's Auctions, said, 'We are thrilled with today's wildly successful auction and beyond grateful and overwhelmed by the support of all of the stars, who unified together to give us their most iconic frocks and pieces to rock for a good cause.'

These 4 Under-the-Radar Perfume Brands Smell So Good, I Can't Gatekeep Them Anymore
Lately, I've been deep in my niche perfume girlie era. We're talking indie brands, ultra-unique blends, and scents that feel like personality statements. There's a lot of great perfumers out there making great work, but once in a while, you stumble upon a fragrance that feels completely new... like someone bottled a feeling you didn't know you were chasing. These four small perfume brands have either gone viral for good reason or quietly taken over my bathroom shelf. Either way, they're worth sniffing out. Favorite scent: Laurel Canyon I've been wearing Laurel Canyon for years, and it's one of those scents that always gets a 'Wait, what is that amazing smell?' from friends. Then I get to spill the tea about this rad, female-owned brand. I first fell for Laurel Canyon because of its Italian cannabis and ambergris notes. It smells like walking through LA in 1966 (or at least what I imagine that would feel like, since I haven't mastered time travel just yet). It's warm, intriguing, and quietly iconic. My It-girl scent, hands down. Speaking of It-girls, there's a TikTok rumor that Chappell Roan was hunting for Thin Wild Mercury's Girl of the Year scent after a video went viral. Since then, the brand's been flying off shelves - and for good reason. Favorite scent: Cowboy Kush I was casually killing time in a boutique when I caught a scent that stopped me in my tracks. I didn't know what it was, but I was immediately obsessed. After some subtle detective work (a.k.a. full-on sniffing the air), I found it: Cowboy Kush by Boy Smells. I haven't stopped thinking about it since. Boy Smells is known for its genderless, experimental approach to fragrance. Cowboy Kush is rugged but refined, think leather jacket and desert air. It's bold in the best way. People will stop you on the street to ask what you're wearing. Trust me, it's happened. Favorite scent: Strawberry Letter Phlur had a major comeback recently, thanks in part to TikTok's obsession with their scent Missing Person. But for me? Strawberry Letter is the star of the show. It's bold, juicy, and lives in that summer-sunset moment. Not too sweet, not too floral, just perfectly ripe and complex. It's the kind of fragrance that makes people lean in and ask, 'What is that?' I held off buying it for a while (shopping for perfume online is a gamble) but then a friend wore it to lunch and I was sold before the appetizers hit the table. I went home and bought it that night. No regrets. Favorite scent: Berlin This one's for the fragrance nerds. Frau Tonis is a Berlin-based atelier where you can literally build your own scent in-store. Yes, you get to be the perfumer. On my first trip to Berlin a few years ago, I did a workshop—and now it's a ritual. Every time I'm in the city, I swing by to restock. Even if you're not heading to Germany anytime soon, their core collection is available online—and worth every drop. My go-to? Berlin. It's sharp, smart, and just a little bit seductive. Bergamot meets lemon, cedarwood mingles with cardamom—it's structured yet surprising. If Glossier You is for the cool girl next door, Berlin is for her worldly older sister with impeccable taste and an even better passport stamp collection. Sure, Chanel No. 5 had her moment, but these days, I'd rather smell like a main character than my grandmother's powder room. These indie perfumes are bold, modern, and way more fun to wear. You're about to smell amazing because of them.

NYT ‘Connections' Hints For Monday, June 1: Clues And Answers For Today's Game
Find the links between the words to win today's game of Connections. Each day's game of NYT Connections goes live at midnight local time. Before we get to today's Connections hints and answers, here are Sunday's: Hey there, Connectors! Welcome to the start of a new week. I hope it's a terrific one for you. Also, we're into June, so Happy Pride! In case you're just joining us, you should know that I like to start the Monday editions of this column with an upbeat song. Y'know, to hopefully get you moving around a little, shake off any cobwebs and help ensure you're in a sunny mood. I know I've used this song as a regular recommendation before (I include one at the end of the column every day!). Still, I really only had one choice for how to open things today. I think it's safe to say that "Pink Pony Club" by Chappell Roan is a generational queer anthem. I don't think there's any other track that makes me both dance and well up every single time I hear it. This is such a wonderful, inspiring song, a truly beautiful banger. It's forever a reminder of how important it is for us all to live as authentically and as true to ourselves as possible: Before we begin, we have a great little community on Discord, where we chat about NYT Connections, the rest of the NYT games and all kinds of other stuff. Everyone who has joined has been lovely. It's a fun hangout spot, and you're more than welcome to hang out with us. Discord is also the best way to give me any feedback about the column, especially on the rare (or not-so-rare) occasions that I mess something up. I don't look at the comments or Twitter much. You can also read my weekend editions of this column at my new newsletter, Pastimes. Today's NYT Connections hints and answers for Monday, June 2 are coming right up. Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game. You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play on the NYT's website or Games app. You're presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like items you can click, names for research study participants or words preceded by a body part. There's only one solution for each puzzle, and you'll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them. Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult one. The purple group often involves wordplay. Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you're incorrect, you'll lose a life. If you're close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you're one word away from getting it right, but you'll still need to figure out which one to swap. If you make four mistakes, it's game over. Let's make sure that doesn't happen with the help of some hints, and, if you're really struggling, today's Connections answers. As with Wordle and other similar games, it's easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats. If you have an NYT All Access or Games subscription, you can access the publication's Connections archive. This includes every previous game of Connections, so you can go back and play any of those that you have missed. Aside from the first 60 games or so, you should be able to find our hints via Google if you need them! Just click here and add the date of the game for which you need clues or the answers to the search query. Scroll slowly! Just after the hints for each of today's Connections groups, I'll reveal what the groups are without immediately telling you which words go into them. Today's 16 words are... And the hints for today's Connections groups are: Need some extra help? Be warned: we're starting to get into spoiler territory. Today's Connections groups are... Spoiler alert! Don't scroll any further down the page until you're ready to find out today's Connections answers. This is your final warning! Today's Connections answers are... Folks, that's win number 97 in a row for your ol' pal, Kris. And with a perfect game too. Three more to go... Here's how I fared: 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 MYRRH and RHYTHM were dead giveaways for the blues. With MYRRH out of commission, that meant there was probably some wordplay going on with FRANKINCENSE. I mean, in what other context do you ever hear that word? I thought there might have been a group of words related to discounts with MARKDOWN and VALUE in the mix, but not much else made sense. I realized that VALUE made more sense with PRIZE and TREASURE, and that gave me the greens. The yellows were very obvious at that point and it only took one look at what were clearly the purples to figure out the connection there (I swear, the puzzle creator is on a mission to make it impossible to write good hints). Purples, yellows, done. That's all there is to it for today's Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog tomorrow for hints and the solution for Tuesday's game if you need them. P.S. I've been meaning to include some Primal Scream songs in this recommendation section for a while. I was super in the mood to listen to "Country Girl" so I'm gonna go with that. It's such a great summertime song and that chorus is great to sing along to any day of the year. It feels fitting for the Monday vibe I like to try to cultivate around here : Have a great day! Stay hydrated! Call someone you love! Please follow my blog for more coverage of NYT Connections and other word games, and even some video game news, insights and analysis. It helps me out a lot! Sharing this column with other people who play Connections would be appreciated too. You can also read my weekend editions of this column at my new newsletter, Pastimes.

Inside One Groom's Surprise ELLE Party Prank for His Bride
After 13 years together, Laysla De Oliveira and Jonathan Keltz wanted to have a wedding that was special and felt like it was just for them. With that in mind, the two eloped and were married at the Santa Barbara courthouse and later had a celebration at the Drift Hotel in Palm Springs on the winter solstice with their close friends and family by their side. As actors, Laysla, who stars on the Taylor Sheridan series Lioness, and Jonathan, who was a cast member on The CW series Reign, spend a lot of their time in front of cameras, so they craved something intimate. They worked with wedding planner Janna Takeyama of Orange Blossom Special Events to craft the perfect vibe. 'We've been together for a long time; we've gone through all the highs and lows of life together,' Jonathan says. '[Getting married] was a moment we really wanted to honor just as just us two, and then have a celebration with everybody else.' Palm Springs was an easy trip for their guests to make, and the couple centered all of their wedding activities around the hotel to maximize the time that everyone could spend together over the course of the weekend. 'We are very energetic people and we do everything we can to try to feed that energy with love and positivity,' Jonathan adds. 'We're just so grateful to everyone who came and matched our spirit.' Read on for the details on the ELLE-themed engagement that Jonathan staged, how they recreated their elopement ceremony months later, and why 'Pink Pony Club' became a dance floor moment they'll never forget. Laysla and Jonathan got engaged just before their 10th anniversary, at a time when her career was taking off and she was frequently attending high-profile events. 'When she was at these events, it awakened this self-love and confidence that I just love so much,' he says. 'I wanted to create that feeling [with the proposal] so that she would love herself and how she looked.' Jonathan and Laysla's manager conspired to convinced Laysla that she was attending a gathering thrown by ELLE at Cielo Farms in Malibu, so she dressed for a professional event and walked into the venue ready for a party. 'I was like, 'Oh my God, there's lots to drink—let's open the wine,'' she recalls. When she looked around, she saw Jonathan, who she thought was out of town. 'I thought, This is out of a romantic novel. This is incredible and couldn't be more perfect.' For their elopement in Santa Barbara, Laysla and Jonathan stayed at El Encanto. They really wanted an experience that was calm and meaningful. 'We just hung out by the pool all day, got massages—it was very romantic,' she says. 'Being in the entertainment industry and always having cameras on you or people watching, we both wanted it just to be us two, an intimate, quiet, still romantic moment that didn't feel performative.' Their friends Jonathan, a photographer, and Carla were their only witnesses. Jonathan took photos and Carla officiated. Rather than having a video recording, they took still photos and recorded the audio of the ceremony. Before their elopement plans were solidified, Laysla bought an Alice + Olivia suit and white Prada pumps that she loved. 'I just wanted a very classic, almost Princess Diana-esque look,' she says. 'It sat in my closet for two years. When we were ready to elope, I was like, 'I have the outfit. This is exactly what I want.'' The couple loves to match, so Jonathan got a white tuxedo from Zara that he wore with green Kurt Geiger shoes and vintage Louis Vuitton cufflinks that he had received as a gift. Laysla's look for the wedding party, which took place two months later, came together a bit more quickly. A week before, when she still hadn't found a dress, a friend suggested she look at Alex Perry's line. She found something that was exclusive to Net-a-Porter and had it delivered overnight. It fit perfectly. When it came time to dance, she changed into an Alex Perry minidress that she wore with gloves and a fur coat from The Frankie Shop. For a family party the night before the wedding, Laysla and Jonathan both wore purple as an ode to Victoria and David Beckham who had been married. (Laysla had recently gotten a Victoria-style haircut for work.) They dressed up like the couple for the first Halloween that they spent together. Laysla and Jonathan's guests all stayed at the same hotel so they could spend as much time together as possible. The bride invited her friends to join her in the bridal suite as she got dressed for the wedding. Meanwhile, Jonathan and some of his friends indulged in some tequila before doing the first look, which was followed by photographs. 'While we were doing the family portraits, people were getting ready for the party, so most people stepped out into their balconies and started clapping and cheering,' she says. ' It was like we were getting ready to celebrate together. It was very, very romantic and magical.' Instead of a traditional ceremony, Laysla and Jonathan recreated their elopement by playing the audio for their guests, accompanied by photos. 'We were in the audience with everyone,' Laysla says. 'It was really beautiful to see and experience people's emotions in real time.' Their wedding planner also had the images projected on the side of the hotel. Jonathan adds: 'We got to have this beautiful private moment and still celebrate it with the people we love.' 'I didn't go more than 10 minutes without bawling my eyes out,' Laysla confesses. The couple danced for what felt hours and hours, side by side with their guests. ''Pink Pony Club' ended up being the defining moment on the dance floor, which caught us by surprise. We both liked the song, but that was the moment we fell in love with the song,' Jonathan explains. 'Everybody was just screaming at the top of their lungs suddenly,' Laysla remembers. Adrienne Gaffney is a features editor at ELLE and previously worked at WSJ Magazine and Vanity Fair.
