Parker Posey, the Legend Tribute honoree, debuted a fiery orange hair color on the Gotham Television Awards red carpet. She styled the warm shade with flipped layers, tucking her front bangs behind a pair of pink see-through lenses.
Carrie Coon flattened her signature blond bob after it was kept curly for her the majority of her role in Mike White's 'The White Lotus' Season Three. The straightened 'do was reminiscent of the mod bob movement on TikTok, which has already spawned a metaphorical protest against long hair.
Not only did 'Gilmore Girls' showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino pose with shoulder-length, inky black hair, but she layered the trendy hairstyle with a dark top hat.
Writer Mara Brock Akil boasted her coiled curls in a half-up, half-down hairdo outside Cipriani Wall Street for the 2025 Gotham Television Awards.
Model Esther McGregor arrived to the 2025 Gotham Television Awards in New York City with a mullet-inspired hairdo. Her long blond locks were curled around her ears and styled in a side part with her front fringe framing her face.
Australian Actress Yvonne Strahovski stepped out on the 2025 Gotham Television Awards red carpet in a slicked-back ponytail. The tight hairdo put her visage on a full display, contributing to her overall effortless aesthetic.
Comedian and 'Saturday Night Live' writer Julio Torres tapped into his whimsical side, boasting a full face of scattered lipstick kisses to match the ruby red dye in his hair. The childlike playfulness was not any different from the kaleidoscopic fashion he typically dons on the red carpet.
Benito Skinner added a light layer of pink blush to his cheeks and a slip of shimmery gloss over his lips to achieve a clean, natural visage in front of the cameras.
Skye P. Marshall presented a glowy makeup look, comprised of bright white eye shadow on the base of her lids, thick layers of black liner on top of her eye and smudged in her waterline and a touch of silver shimmer in the inner eye corners.
Model Martine went for a clean, consistent base juxtaposed with a pop of color on the mouth. The internet personality pursed her red-colored lips in front of the camera outside Cipriani Wall Street.
Madeline Brewer dusted her eyelids amber-colored shadow, smudging the color in below her waterline to create a smoky effect. Her lips were painted in a shimmery pink shade, while her cheeks were subtly decorated in a matching blush.
Gabriela Hearst posed with a makeup-free visage outside Cipriani Wall Street for the 2025 Gotham Television Awards. Apart from her brushed eyebrows and concealed undereyes, her face was kept completely natural.

Nicole Scherzinger, a new Tony Award winner, gave a stunning performance that might make you weep
Nicole Scherzinger had a big night at the Tony Awards on Sunday. Scherzinger, a former member of the musical group Pussycat Dolls, won her first-ever Tony Award for her performance as Norma Desmond in the Broadway revival of 'Sunset Blvd.,' which also won an award for best musical revival. An emotional Scherzinger said in her acceptance speech that the award was 'a testament that love always wins.' Earlier in the night, Scherzinger gave a gorgeous performance during the telecast, singing a ballad 'As If We Never Said Goodbye.' Appearing barefoot on a smoke-filled stage in a simple black dress, Scherzinger's powerful performance earned a standing ovation from the audience, which included Andrew Lloyd Webber, who wrote the music for the production. Stage and screen icon Glenn Close, who played the role of main character Norma Desmond in the original 1994 Broadway production, introduced Scherzinger's performance. Close earned a Tony Award in 1995 for her work in the musical, along with several other accolades. She went on to reprise the role in the 2017 revival of the show. Earlier this year, Close was among those to give the production rave reviews, calling the show a 'thrilling experience' on her Instagram. 'Sunset Blvd.' is based on the Oscar-winning 1950 Billy Wilder film 'Sunset Boulevard' and follows a fading screen star who lives in the past when she was queen of the silent film era, languishing in her decrepit Los Angeles mansion located on the titular boulevard. The original stage production opened in London in 1993. 'Sunset Blvd' won three Tonys Sunday. CNN's Dan Heching contributed to this report.

‘Ride Or Die' Review - A New Vision Of Love On The Run
There are countless stories about romances on the run, ruined (and enhanced) by crime and violence. Whether you prefer Bonnie and Clyde, Badlands, True Romance, Queen & Slim, or Thelma & Louise (the subtext is everything), the history is certainly there. Two young lovers with nothing to lose get thrown into difficult situations that turn ugly. There is a reason that this is a repeated theme in film. In what other situation would we throw caution to the wind and take these kinds of chances? All love can be a kind of madness. But young love? Young love will lead us down the strangest paths imaginable. In Josalynn Smith's debut as a full-length feature director, Ride or Die, she examines this through a very different lens. This is an upfront queer story, no subtext required. Paula (Briana Middleton) is stuck in her hometown, but harbors dreams of directing films in Hollywood. As the film opens, she takes a purchase to the cash register at a clothing store and sees Sloane (Stella Everett), who we later learn was her high school crush. Even this early in the film, the story hinges on this initial interaction. If we don't feel them together, nothing else will matter. But the chemistry between Paula and Sloane is absolutely electric. Sly touches, smirks, and elongated eye contact do the trick within moments. Even if we didn't find out anything else about the pair, we know that the kinetic attraction between them is undoubtedly mutual. The script, from Smith and Alicia Louzoun-Heisler, shines throughout, but especially here. This flirtation leads to a mild bit of law-breaking in the form of Sloane giving Paula her purchase for free. Given the evocative title, we certainly know that this will not be the last law broken, but it shows what we are willing to accept or let slide when someone beautiful offers it to us. But Smith does not simply allow Sloane to be only a pretty face. Despite being the object of Paula's desire, she is shown to have an actual history, reasons for the way she is, and an understandable connection with Paula. Middleton is unquestionably the lead, but both characters have their moments to shine. The scriptwriters also make the smart decision to only give us one familial background story. We get to see just a bit of Paula's difficult relationship with her mother. We only get hints about Sloane, but it is enough. And given that this is a lesbian love story, and one set in the middle of the country, Smith had many choices about how to represent the challenges that the couple would face on the road and within their families. Repeatedly, she chooses subtlety over intensity to the film's advantage. It would have been easy for them to find violence and screaming at every turn, but the consistent quiet judgment they face is even more powerful. Being two women in an unforgiving world is hard enough, adding the intersectionality of being queer, and in Paula's case, Black and not passing as straight, focuses the narrative on a particular struggle that remains mostly untold. The violence they both face and enact throughout the film is both surprising and expected. When you title a movie Ride or Die, we know that at least one in the partnership will become violent, and the other must make a decision to stay with them or run away. But who enacts it and how these things actually occur left me gasping on more than one occasion. But luckily, the film is not simply violent for violence's sake. It also spends time building this relationship and showing us their journey, both emotionally and visually. Cinematographer Arlene Muller never misses a moment, and she has many challenges. Shooting black skin and white skin creates different obstacles, and this is exponentially true when an interracial couple is at the center of the story. She manages this both in light and shadow, creating softness when times are better and harshness when things begin to go awry. When the two are together sexually, Muller and Smith never shy away from either the explicit physicality or the difficulties of sexual relationships. As the two travel across the country towards the west coast, time is taken to represent this with numerous vistas, but it never feels overly extended or unnecessary. There are two shots, one with the two in sunlight and one that takes place in glistening water that will easily stick with viewers long after the credits roll. It does not matter if you have seen stories about criminal lovers on the run before. You have absolutely not seen it like this. Josalynn Smith introduces us to a brand new version, centering people who usually are not, and she opens brand new doors. Her version, along with a beautiful, aware, open performance from Briana Middleton and stunning visuals, makes Ride or Die worth the trip and then some. Ride Or Die held its World Premiere as a part of the U.S. Narrative Competition section of the 2025 Tribeca Festival. Director: Josalynn Smith Screenwriters: Josalynn Smith, Alicia Louzoun-Heisler Rated: NR Runtime: 85m
